Senator Van de Putte: "I'm hopeful"

We spoke to Senator Van de Putte's office today regarding the Supreme Court decision on School Finance. In a statement today, Senator Van de Putte said, "The Court's decision today gives us at least some guidance on what is
currently constitutional and what is not. That's helpful, but it's just a starting point."

Her office also told us that Senator Van de Putte has confidence in the task force headed up by John Sharp and she looks forward to a one-on-one with him as soon as both their schedules permit to lend her support in a broad and bipartisan solution to school finance in Texas.

Other legislative staffers tell us they don't expect a Special Session to be called prior to the Spring of 2006.
