My friend, former Austin Mayor Roy Butler, passed away last week. He was the first Austin Mayor to be elected directly to the office by the people. Before him, the City Council selected a council member to serve as mayor...
Wednesday is Veterans Day, when we pause to remember and honor those who have protected us and defended all of the good this nation stands for. We especially thank those who died for that cause...

In fact, only good stuff. It’s time, as they say, to “Save the Date” for the political event you’ve been waiting for all year. If you haven’t been thinking about it for months, it’s got to be simply because you didn’t know about it, right? So, here we go. This is the...
Someone pointed out to me recently that, LBJ’s birthday notwithstanding, there isn’t a real big holiday this time of year. So the Texas Legislature had to go and make one. Starting today and running through Sunday is the state’s Sales Tax Holiday. Thi...
There’s been a lot of speculation about my plans for the next election. Well, I’ve decided what I’m going to do, and I want to announce it to you all first. I will run for re-election to the Texas Senate in 2010. Countless conversations and a ton of consideration went into this decision. It ...
