Dewhurst, Perry and Shapiro think they can get something out of the Senate for textbooks and a small pay raise. Craddick is seeing the wheels come off his speakership, so he is throwing every wrench in the toolbox to get a sine die.

Students 0
Teachers 0
Ineffective Legislature 58
(I arbitrarily gave them a 58)
Could you break down the Legislature's points by chamber or office? Shouldn't Perry have a couple of those 58...
