Well, well, well. The late filing for Speaker by state Rep Brian McCall, R-Plano, turned out to be a pump fake. The Gang of Eleven emerged from their not-so-secret meeting location to declare state Rep. Joe Straus, R-San Antonio to be their choice to take on Speaker Craddick. "There are great challenges facing the state, and there are clear differences in experience and philosophy between Mr. Straus and myself. I am confident that I will be re-elected speaker," incumbent Speaker Tom Craddick said in a statement. More to come from the big Gang of 11 meeting and selection of state Rep Joe Straus, R-San Antonio as the "chosen one" to take on Speaker Tom Craddick . The full TV story with more video and sound will be on KVUE-TV (Ch 24) Austin, KENS-TV (Ch. 5) San Antonio, KHOU-TV (Ch. 11) Houston and WFAA-TV (Ch 8) Dallas tonight (Friday) at 10pm. |
