Dominic Gonzales at Texas Criminal Justice Coalition pulled some choice quotes from yesterday's hearing that respond directly to Lt. Gov. Dewhurst's ill-informed assertion that Texas hasn't built enough prisons to match population growth. Check out the short flash video with audio clips from the two chairmen speaking at yesterday's joint meeting between the House Corrections and Senate Criminal Justice Committee.
My hat is off to Senator Whitmire and Rep. Madden. These two gentlemen have the guts to stand up to Gov. Perry and L.G Dewhurst and I am so proud of them I could cry.
ReplyDeleteSenator Whitmire is one of my favorite people and he is fair and just. May the Lord bless him and keep him safe. What a blessing to have him and I am not even from his district. I would vote for him anyday and hope he remains healthy.
