The State of the State - A Special Legislative Session Re-cap
Guests:
Texas Senator Dan Patrick, District 7
Charles Kuffner, Political Blogger, ‘Off the Kuff’
Dr. Theo Herrington, Texas Southern University
When the 82nd Texas Legislative session came to a close, and there was still work left to be done, we all heard about a special session being called - and the myriad of issues that were to be covered: everything from redistricting and education, to sanctuary cities and TSA pat downs... This week on Houston 8, we will discuss what issues made it to the special session, which issues received the Governor's signature, and what it all means for those of us living in the lone star state?
Original broadcast, July 14, 2011.
