A CAPITOL BLOG: A REAL CHAMPION FOR TEXAS: REP. BOB GRIGGS

A CAPITOL BLOG: A REAL CHAMPION FOR TEXAS: REP. BOB GRIGGS: "If there ever was a leader that embodied many of those qualities it is Rep. Bob Griggs R-North Richland Hills. This editorial appeared in today's Fort Worth Star-Telegram. The story talks about something most of us who know Bob have known since the end of his first term. His reluctance to continue for a second term. But it was his concern for the school children of Texas that kept him for a second term.

Now because Bob was one of the brave souls who stood up to those who were pushing this 'junk food' of an education plan, to use his words, he has invited a Republican primary opponent (Pat Carlson, party chair of Tarrant County) and has decided not to run. He has reserved the right to change his mind and will make a final decision in September."
