The news of Texas covered today includes:
Our Lone Star story of the day: The Texas Houses Speaker race now appears to be an effort by the upper-echelon of wealthy lobbyists to save Dave Phelan as speaker which begs the question: What’s in it for them?

Why re-elect the guy who failed and is suddenly now going to implement the changes that most have known were needed, including Toomey, for some time?
Former Phelan ally Trent Ashby endorses David Cook for speaker.
