GOP defends Craddick as school bill dies
DallasNews.com | News for Dallas, Texas | Texas Legislature: "House Republicans who supported one or both of the school-finance plans that died over the weekend lamented the loss of teacher pay raises and property-tax relief.
What they didn't do was blame House Speaker Tom Craddick for the House-Senate stalemate that killed the bills.
Instead – as Senate leaders bashed the speaker for holding firm to the House versions – they stood behind Mr. Craddick and questioned why the Senate waited two months to pass a measure of their own and start negotiations.
'How long do you have to knead bread?' said Rep. Carter Casteel, R-New Braunfels, saying she was 'just miserable' about the failure of the Legislature to give teachers a pay raise."
