Balky Democrats, Selective Travel, Selective Signatures
Three members of the Texas House State Affairs Committee have refused to sign off on the Committee’s final report on stem cell technology. The Houston Chronicle calls them Balky Democrats. I’m not surprised. None of them bothered to come to the Committee’s hearing on the charge held in Houston in September, where I was one … Continue reading
