Of course, none of this is his fault, but really it is. He'd rather pull some grandstanding stunt like that than to work with Whitmire. But then, isn't that what Democrats do when they don't get their way?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-770601429553489562015-05-15T09:35:11.500-05:002015-05-15T09:35:11.500-05:00Talk about hissy-fit.

Watching you chairman Dutton throughout this session it appears you have discredited many other's opinions during testimony and taken a road pointed out by a small group of advocates leading you down a detour. Mr. Chairman, listen to those individuals who actually work in the areas that you are attempting to govern and reform. I believe if you did there would have not been so much statewide opposition to some of your bills. People who are PAID to bend your ear all day long don't speak for the ones who PAY THEIR OWN DUES working some crazy laws that are passed.<br />That is MY opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-2659731787636065232015-05-15T06:27:12.841-05:002015-05-15T06:27:12.841-05:00Dutton doesn't seem to be a bad guy.

That was a Hell of a hit piece that Lisa did on him and he's rightfully upset.<br /><br />All this bill does is consolidate all of the power into the hands of the district attorney. And that's a dangerous proposition, especially in Harris County since Devon Anderson has already proven she's corrupt and will abuse that power at every opportunity: http://blog.bennettandbennett.com/2011/11/live-by-the-hatchet-die-by-the-hatchet/TriggerMortishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13488782801153643342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-71263964613849920982015-05-14T23:25:51.731-05:002015-05-14T23:25:51.731-05:00Well at least we all now know why there is/was a f...Well at least we all now know why there is/was a feud with Whitmire... Little thin skinned are we there Dutton? "Conscientous Stupidity" seriously?.. As opposed to peurile self-justification. You're a politician for the love of Pete, roll with the punches o defensive one. Maybe you might be carrying too many bills, your edged. Oh and by the way, why did the grand-jury reform bill tank?Tscchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10235931380055948916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-32491751435608573402015-05-14T23:23:19.975-05:002015-05-14T23:23:19.975-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tscchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10235931380055948916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-50773408141657270582015-05-14T21:39:09.080-05:002015-05-14T21:39:09.080-05:00It is not your opinion that was offensive.

Dutton, this is an opinion blog, and I'm sorry you disagree with mine. I don't question how hard your staff works, or you. I've seen it. And you're entitled to file as many bills as you like, obviously, whether you're able to promote them all or not. <br /><br />As to members who would likely change their votes, I've not spoken to members but to others surveying them for a possible re-vote - I'd be happy to share that information with you privately.<br /><br />I'm not your enemy here, and neither is John Whitmire.Gritsforbreakfasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10152152869466958902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-27087611844859352422015-05-14T14:47:13.411-05:002015-05-14T14:47:13.411-05:00Repeating my earlier comment.

Nothing more, nothing less. Since all we had were Senate bills they could be taken up later and members wanted to simply go home after we adjourned. Scott, I expected more from you but perhaps you have been infected with Falkenberg-itus. In any case, you seem full of yourself and some other stuff that's not on the FDA list for consumption. Additionally, I challenge you to publish either of the lists of members who would likely flip, as you say, on Thompson's amendment. I'm sure we will wait till hell freezes over for you to do so. Moreover, you state that members did not understand the bill. Again, I challenge you to produce the list of names of members who told you they didn't understand the bill. Again, you made this up in a feeble attempt to write a story. It appears that rather than grits for breakfast, your breakfast had a higher methane content. Sincere ignorance is no excuse and neither is your conscientious stupidity. <br />Have a nice day.

And you sure as hell have no idea of the work my staff and I put into the work for the folks who sent me here. You must be pretty busy also since you don't have the time to speak with me about why the committee meeting was cancelled. Creating the news may be a lot easier than reporting the news but then you should state that you are a tabloid.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06662626677152280514noreply@blogger.com
