Lubbock Left

Okay, watch this video:

and let’s talk about how we can fix this problem. This doesn’t appear to be a D or an R problem, but a systemic problem. And it’s embarrassing for our State.

One solution might be to get rid of the ridiculous “one session every two years” nature of the Texas House and Senate. If there were more time to get the business of the State taken care of, legislators wouldn’t be so rushed that they would break their own rules.

Another solution is to have a speaker that cares enough about this problem to slow down the pace of the legislature. Or, another group could be created to oversee these type of “self-policing” rules that never get enforced. (Of course, the only group with authority to create such a group is the legislature itself…)

Thoughts?
