He noted potential federal lawsuits and suggested working within contract clauses or seeking a declaratory judgment. Commissioner Pressley urged cancelation and proposed 100 reserve officers if the concert proceeds.

Fire risk highlights missing sprinklers at Texas Capitol
Predawn blaze damaged 70 percent of the east wing second floor and 20 percent of the first and third floors. Water reached basement offices as 100 firefighters fought the flames. Lt Gov Hobby’s second floor apartment and a corridor were burned, killing one guest and injuring six, including firefighters and a police officer. Fire Chief Pool rated overall damage as two on the three acre building and eight for the east wing, noting the Capitol’s old, maze like interior with false ceilings aided the fire spread. Gov. White said the episode prompts reassessment of fire protection and renovations.
