Sen. Patrick Proposes $3 Billion in Spending Cuts, Angry Words Fly

Dallas Blog | William Lutz:
“Sen. Dan Patrick (R-Houston) and his list of $3 billion in state budget cuts were the topic of heated debate on the Senate floor. ... Sen John Whitmire (D-Houston) called on Patrick to explain his list of $3 billion in budget cuts to the Senate. Whitmire asked Patrick why he didn't bring his list of cuts to the Senate Finance Committee or why he didn't share it with his Senate colleagues before it was debated. After that, a rather tense exchange occurred between Whitmire and Patrick.”
Ed Cognoski responds:

Methinks Sen. Dan Patrick is trying to get elected governor, not trying to pass legislation.
