It breaks my heart that legislators in Austin seem to have neglected what they're job is-to see and listen to what we (Texans) need, and then make the needed changes so that our state will no longer be the laughing stock of the nation. I moved to the DC area almost a year ago and just being a Texan around here is difficult. Everyone assumes that I'm a diehard Bush and DeLay fan when nothing could be further from the truth! I left state employment in Texas b/c I couldn't knowingly work for agency directors who didn't have the best of intentions for my state...and most of their decisions were driven by what legislators passed w/o even understanding the ramifications.<BR/><BR/>Enough of my ranting-I don't know what your position is on any topic, but whatever your position is I hope it is with keeping in mind with what the state needs and not based on who could line the political pocket book.<BR/>God bless-MaraMarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13040595901794743929noreply@blogger.com
