Et Tu, Pitts?
By Vince Leibowitz on May 21, 2007 in 80th Legislature
State Rep. Jim Pitts has joined the fray to unseat House Speaker Tom Craddick. However, unlike Rep. Jim Keffer, who previously filed, there is a twist that could mean a speaker’s race before the end of the session:
Rep. Jim Pitts of Waxahachie filed his candidacy with the state Ethics Commission for a term to begin if Craddick is unseated, a spokesman for the commission said.
Oy. Jesus. Screw all of this. Neither Pitts nor Keffer is a “real” alternative to Craddick. And, a non-Craddick speakership would take some of the lightening out of the ‘08 Democratic movement to retake the House.
