Auto-Craddick? Burnam resolution says so ...
Lon Burnam has introduced the potentially combustible House Resolution 2963. It commends Denise Davis and Chris Griesel, the former House parliamentarian and her assistant who resigned Friday night, reportedly after Speaker Tom Craddick rejected their legal opinion that he'd have to allow the House a vote on whether to remove him from the chair.
"Denise Davis and Chris Griesel stood up to autocratic control of a democratic institution by resigning their posts," the resolution says.
Rep. David Leibowitz, D-San Antonio, just demanded to know the names of the three Legislative Council attorneys now working for Craddick rules mavens Terry Keel and Ron Wilson.
"Everybody wants to know who they are," Mr. Leibowitz said.
"And what they look like," yelled Rep. Roberto Alonzo, D-Dallas, from his seat.
