Today Representative Joe Moody responded to Governor Perry’s State of the State address:

“Governor Perry is right, Texas is strong.  But we should be stronger.  The last few legislative cycles have been divisive and that has prevented us from getting some very important things done for Texas citizens.

What I didn’t hear from the Governor’s speech was solutions.  During his time as Governor and with a House chamber that was more about politics than  policy, good programs have been ignored or worse, whittled down with budget cuts.

Now that we have new leadership in the House and a positive bipartisan start to this session.  Its time to put the focus back on providing health insurance for our children, improving education from kindergarten to college, and making a real investment in clean, renewable energy sources.”
