Texas' top 3 regroup on school-finance plan

DallasNews.com | News for Dallas, Texas | Latest News: "Less than a week into the new special session, with quick completion of a school finance plan looking unlikely, Republican Gov. Rick Perry met with legislative leaders Wednesday to answer a burning question: What next?

Perry held a closed-door meeting with Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and House Speaker Tom Craddick to plot the Legislature's course after the House voted down a pair of school funding bills Tuesday, appearing to doom the special session."
