                **************************************************

It is common practice in the Texas Legislature for our elected reps =20
to vote.
Well and good.

But then they have the bad habit of turning to an absent colleague=92s =20=

desk and they vote for them as well.

Some of them are on camera voting 4 times on the same issue. And many =20=

press the buttons for colleagues in the other party. But you have to =20
wonder which way they are voting in that case.

I adamantly maintain that we should clean these things up.

But since I am well aware of the slow pace of political reform in =20
Texas politics, I think we should proceed cautiously.  Let us first =20
prohibit voting for somebody of another party.

Then if things go well, we shall be in a position to make the big =20
leap to prohibit voting for anyone else, regardless of party.
