Kudos to Congressman Doggett. He's one Texas politician that's got our backs.

Texas Tribune 8/11/10
Every Doggett Has His Day
Doggett Forces State's Hand on Ed Spending
The U.S. House has passed a bill on Tuesday that is expected to send about $800 million to bolster the state’s education budget. But thanks to an amendment added by U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Austin, the funding comes with Texas-specific strings attached. Ben Philpott of KUT News and the Tribune has this report.


Audio interview with my Congressman Doggett!

:loveya: Lloyd!

2. Perry and the Rs are making up a "fake crisis"
Perry and the Texas Republicans are just grandstanding about allegedly having their hands tied.

The Doggett amendment does not make an unachievable goal. Perry just doesn't want Doggett and schools to win this one.
