Floor fashions: bold garb
Donna Howard dazzled, while Norma Chavez varoomed.
Both wore eye-catching garments on the House floor today. Ms. Howard, D-Austin, wore a bright green jersey of high school football powerhouse Southlake Carroll, winner of the state Class 5A Division I title last month over Austin Westlake. "I'm honoring my word," she said of a bet she lost to Rep. Vicki Truitt, R-Keller. Ms. Truitt also won House passage of a resolution declaring Tuesday "Carroll Dragons Day" at the Capitol.
Ms. Chavez wore a leather motorcycle jacket as she welcomed hundreds of motorcycle riders on their lobby day. "I'm the riding representative," said the Harley-owning lawmaker.
