Paul Burka called his committee "talent poor" after it passed out a version of "Jessica's Law" without giving it "the scrutiny it should have received in committee"
DOMESTIC/REPEAT VIOLENCE
Personally, I'm most disappointed with Aaron Pena down in the valley. It's one thing to give a vote ... it's another to give a seconding speech as glowing as Pena gave. I hope the personal reasons for backing Craddick were enough for Pena to get something out of, because the professional reasons stink. Welcome to the new era of accountability, Representative Pena. It's going to be a long ride. Pena's district is solidly Dem ... Kerry got 63%, David Van Os got 70%. If there's a credible enough challenger, I'm more than willing to spend some time surrounded by better food, scenic Edinburg, and Democrats willing to act like Democrats.
Aaron Pena Fails His Distrtict
Aaron is a devious, self-promoting sellout whose motivating interest is feathering his own nest. His continual shifts are those of an unprincipled political harlot always turning whichever way he thinks the wind may blow in his favor. Too bad for him, he is behind the times. He cast his lot with the Republican establishment right when they were on the verge of collapse. So not only is he unprincipled, he is also blind.

The Monitor was very generous in giving Arturo Guajardo a two page publicity stunt. Edinburg News is predicting that Arturo Gujardo will challenge Kino Flores for St. Rep. There is a reason The Monitor gave him a two page endorsement. Now you know why.
