Closing Arguments on the House Budget Bill
The odyssey of House Bill 1 seemed to be drawing to a close — after an escape to the House floor and an endless tour around the island of amendments — the budget (Homer, if you're exerting more effort to get this analogy than I'm putting forth in writing it) seemed to nearly be home.
- A look at how Twitter covered the closing arguments during the House budget debate.
Indeed we will. RT @Forrest4Trees: Rep. Helen Giddings: We will "rue the day" the Lege passed this budget.- The political attacks didn't stop during the first closing argument and a Democratic activist and Observer reporter quickly rebutted them.
RT @j_madden You don't speak for me. She does. RT @mqsullivan RT @tgiovanetti: I speak for all those following...Please shut up Rep Giddings
Astroturf leader @mqsullivan goes on about Dems and libs like they control every statewide office and the Lege. Whoops that's the Rs.- Rep. Strama then took his turn to speak against the bill
- Rep. Castro took to the microphone to speek
