Texas lawmakers are back at work Wednesday after nearly a week off, and they’ve got about 125 days left in their 140-day session. And while it might seem like a lazy start to their biennial meeting, it is, in fact, all part of the plan.

For what we pay these people, why aren't they working full time? There's definately a lot to be done. They can start with the lack of adequate healthcare, schools and the food stamp program. What are they doing about these very important subjects?
Has anyone informed the legislators that they are the peoples' lobbyists and not just the recipient of gifts from corporate interests.
