Mixed Emotions

As a long time, Democrat, I must admit I have mixed emotions about the way Dade Phelan is being treated by the Republican Party.   While I am pleased to see the Republicans are so disorganized, I am convinced that having the Speaker of the House representing this area is a great benefit to us all.  

There is a time and place for an area to benefit.  The time is while the Legislature is in session.  The place is various committees of the House and Senate.  As an example, had I not been chair of the Senate Education Committee, there would not have been a Lamar at Orange or Port Arthur.  A new nursing program would not have been created. 

People of District 21:  would it not be foolish to dump an honest, young man because he allowed the House to impeach our attorney general who has been sued by his employees and is under indictment?  Or that vouchers did not get passed by the House? 

Think before you vote!!
