Easter Sunday Link Dump

It’s Easter Sunday. For some folks that means dressing up and going to church, for some folks that means an Easter Egg Hunt and for some folks it means getting to bite the ears of a huge chocolate bunny and/or trying to figure out what happens when you microwave marshmallow Peeps.

At any rate, here’s a Sunday Link Dump for you. Even though Capitol Annex is on Easter Break until Monday, we can’t leave you without *something* to read.

If you were fortunate/unfortunate enough to see some snow flakes yesterday or today, Nate at Common Sense has the perfect explaination for why.

Job’s Anger has an interesting piece about one of the “local” bills we rarely hear much about during the legislative session. It’s about a water district bill in Parker and Wise Counties and how it still allows oil companies to waste water.

Marc’s Miscellany has a nice “catch-up” round up of things you may have missed in political news recently.

Musings tells us of the possible forming of a “rump” party by Fort Bend Republicans.

Pink Dome tells us that the former State Rep. who punched State Rep. Patrick Rose (D-Dripping Springs) is on deferred adjudication. Amusing.

And, in the news:

Now, evidence is emerging that, in addition to everything else, the medical care system at the Texas Youth Commission is also an unmitigated disaster.

And, the Austin American-Statesman tells us climate change is already underway in Texas.

Finally, from the Express-News, the long-awaited Medicaid settlement is due in court Monday.
