If you don't want to debate and cast tough votes on bills, don't run for legislative office!Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick Says Dade Phelan is ‘Impossible to Work With'. He said that, while he had disagreements with past speakers Joe Straus and Dennis Bonnen, he could have conversations with them. Phelan, meanwhile, has not communicated with him.“This guy's just flat out impossible to work with,” he Patrick added, saying that if Phelan is speaker of the House next session, school choice and other issues, such as a taxpayer-funded lobbying ban, will die again.80 Days Later: Texas House Speaker Phelan has yet to disclose impeachment costs.Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.Anti-Wimp update: Amarillo home invader dead in driveway.A minor court win for Texas on border issues and more: ‘We've Had Enough,' Says Eagle Pass Mayor on Mass Migration Disaster Federal Agents Say They're Stuck ‘Babysitting' Illegal Immigrants Instead Of Stopping Criminals State Rep.

Three veteran Texas lawmakers said that Dade Phelan, the presumptive Texas House speaker, will unite lawmakers through his experience and sincerity in what will be the Legislature's first chance to address the health and economic impact of the pandemic next month.“With coronavirus, COVID-19, the agenda could be very narrow this session,” said state Rep. Todd Hunter, R-Corpus Christi, during a panel discussion previewing the Phelan administration and the 2021 legislative session. “And Dade Phelan is the perfect person for this situation.”The conversation, moderated by Tribune CEO Evan Smith, also included Joe Moody, one of Phelan's more prominent Democrat supporters from El Paso, and Angie Chen Button, R-Richardson. While Moody said he supported Phelan for his character, Button praised the Beaumont Republican for his years of leadership, including when Phelan didn't push Button last session to support a bill he knew her constituents would reject.“First, he respects people from his heart,” Button said of why she supports Phelan. “Second, he takes time to communicate with people. Third, definitely, he is trustworthy.”The panelists also said that Phelan, like Dennis Bonnen — who will retire as speaker at the end of his term after a secret recording revealed he encouraged the targeting of 10 GOP members for primary challenges — has the same focus and knack to get things done as his predecessor and will, as Hunter said, fairly call “balls and strikes.”

Abbott laying out a string of new legislative proposals to raise penalties and create new crimes that would require jail time for offenses committed at protests, a pastor at a church gets arrested for congregation on their parking lot, and Todd and Don talk birthdays, dip, & margaritas.

The race for Texas House Speaker was declared over this week by Rep. Dennis Bonnen, who provided a list of 109 pledges to his candidacy. He only needed 76 votes of House members to get the job, but Republicans and Democrats came together in a unique way to put him on track for election as the chamber's presiding officer in January. Lawmakers started filing bills for debate when the Legislature convenes, there was more drama in the race between Rep. Will Hurd and Gina Ortiz Jones, and there was an outbreak of decency following a really distasteful joke about Dan Crenshaw, a wounded war veteran set to represent part of the Houston area in Congress. Go behind the headlines for a look at what's really going on at the Texas Capitol and in Washington with the state's #1 political podcast: The Texas Take. Join the conversation featuring Scott Braddock, editor of The Quorum Report, Texas Public Radio Capitol reporter Ryan Poppe, and Chronicle political writer Jeremy Wallace. Support the show.
