Baytown Sun backs Prop 1 for Texas veterans homes
The Baytown Sun editorial board endorses Proposition 1 to amend the Texas Constitution, allowing the Veterans Land Board to use veterans land and housing funds to build and fund veterans homes for the aged or infirm. It argues this avoids new bonds, improves credit ratings, and benefits about 500,000 Texas veterans over 65.

Perry's Legacy Turns From Education To Political Feud
In Texas politics, Gov. Perry faces a legacy risk as Republicans seek to fine 11 Senate Democrats who fled to New Mexico to block redistricting. The Democrats defend their exit as a bid to prevent unneeded congressional redraws, while the clash tests bipartisan norms and may scar the Senate for years.

Open letter from Texas 11 on redistricting dispute

Perry of minority disenfranchisement, warn of national partisan aims, and urge Bush to condemn the actions while calling for continued public opposition.
