House in session gridlock as Kuempel progresses
In a rare moment of unity, Rep. Edmund Kuempel shows signs of recovery from a massive heart attack and may go home as soon as Thursday, just as House grapples with partisan gridlock and a looming end to the session. Rep. Charlie Geren notes updates from Brackenridge Hospital as Kuempel recovers and prepares for a pacemaker. The chamber remains divided as Democrats use procedural moves to block a voter ID bill, leaving Straus largely sidelined while budget negotiations inch toward final approval. The two-year budget, about 180 billion, includes 11 billion in federal aid, 2 billion for transportation, and funds for education and health care.
