Doesn't Legislature have enough to do?
DallasNews.com | News for Dallas, Texas | Local Columnists: "Great news from Austin: Texas legislators are apparently working much harder than we ever expected!
Our elected officials must be too modest to say so, but it seems that late last week, in a burst of unprecedented industry, they fixed all the state's thorniest and least tractable problems. They must have devised brilliant, 11th-hour solutions and compromises on taxes, the budget, protective services, school financing. They must have fixed everything!
Those things must all surely be squared away, because on Saturday, they had the leisure to wander off into the ideological canebrake and confront the nonexistent bugaboo of gay marriage.
If, by chance, all those other real and pressing problems weren't solved, it's hard to imagine why the state Senate would waste precious time wheezing on about the need for an amendment to our state's constitution to protect the so-called 'sanctity of marriage.'"
