Texas legislative session

Grading Austin

The Dallas Morning News grades the just completed session of the Texas legislature in an editorial today. As to be expected, the grades are mixed. From transportation to education to air quality to the death penalty, the News summarizes its editorial positions and what progress, if any, was made in Austin this session advancing those positions. Read it. It's a great summary of five months of legislative sausage-making in Austin. And it's a great example of why we still need newspapers, staffed with professional journalists, in this day of blogs and Twitter and Facebook.
