I have two questions regarding today’s Chronicle editorial titled, “BETTER PROBATION: Governor should sign bill to keep dangerous criminals behind bars and help others go straight”:
While partisan bickering prevails in Washington, a measure of bipartisanship survives at the Texas Capitol. HB 2193 was written by three Republican representatives and two Democrats, including Rep. Sylvester Turner of Houston. Sen. John Whitmire, D-Houston, sponsored the bill in the Senate.
Who are the three Republican representatives who helped write the bill? Why are only the Democrats named?
