State Rep. Kino Flores, D-Palmview, is not happy about one of his bills not making it to the floor yet. He took up the issue with state Rep. Brian McCall, R-Plano, on the House floor in a particularly testy back-and-forth. (In this first session post-Craddick, this is about as much action as we've seen all week.)

KF: [Referring to the process of getting his bill set] For us to be chasing a dog, go see him, go see her, go see him, go see her...

BM: I've told you twice in private, and in public here now, your bill will be set. You're assuming that the first bill we set is the most important, and the last bill we set is the least. That's not the case. I'm not going to se it on Saturday but I can tell you it will be set.

KF: June 3rd?

BM: With all due respect, it will be set. We are getting caught up...

KF: I came here to talk about disabled veterans... I challenge you and I want you to set it on the calendar! This is about disabled veterans!

BM: The order in no way represents the priority of the House of Representatives. Your bill, as Ive told you four times before, will be set.
