Casual Soapbox

Casual Soapbox is a blog, the purpose of which is to provide me with a venue to expound upon politics, popular culture, religion, humor, and any other topic that boils my blood. I'd love to say I have big plans for this site, but I don't, except to bloviate pompously, deprecate myself and others, practice my verbal skills, and pathetically imitate popular people I admire. So, if any of that appeals to you, this blog's for you!

TX-HD-047: Candidate Forum Saturday

It looks like the City of Sunset Valley is sponsoring a candidate forum for my state house district at City Hall Saturday morning. Rep. Terry Keel (R) is running for higher office, so there are plenty of candidates -- it looks like 5 Republicans and 3 Democrats will be there. Here's the itinerary:

> 9:00-9:20 -- Alex Castano (R)
> 9:20-9:40 -- Dick Reynolds (R)
> 9:40-10:00 -- Terry Dill (R)
> 10:00-10:20 -- Valinda Bolton (D)
> 10:20-10:40 -- Jason Earle (D)
> 10:40-11:00 -- Rich Phillips (R)
> 11:00-11:20 -- Eric Beverly (D)
> 11:20-11:40 -- Bill Welch (R)
According to Deputy City Administrator Jamey Foley, the format for each candidate will be a 10-minute speech, followed by a 10-minute question and answer session for the city council and residents.

I think I'll probably go. Anyone care to suggest questions I should ask?

Test their knowledge of how the Legislature works... how is a bill assigned to a committee? (by the Speaker's office based on a number of factors) ... when is a fiscal note requested and what agency/entity develops a fiscal note? (Prior to a committee hearing and created by the LBB - Legislative Budget Board).
