As the Hutch turns...

This is great:

Asked about her intentions [to run for governor], she said in the halls of the Senate, "Obviously, I am not going to answer a question that would lead to a conclusion. I'll be the (Federal Reserve chairman) Alan Greenspan of today's (press conference).

"I will talk a lot, but if you think you've understood anything I've said, you're misunderstanding."

This is more entertaining than a soap opera.

Meanwhile, Hutchison continued to call for a special session. The KBH campaign issued a press release calling for a special session to "address not only the inordinately high property taxes in Texas, but also teacher pay raises, textbook funding, university revenue bonds and judicial compensation."

This prompted Kent Grusendorf (R-Arlington), the chair of the House Education Committee, to issue his own statement.

I read with interest Sen. Hutchison's comments urging the governor to call a special session on school finance. Since I have spent the last 24 months almost exclusively on this issue, I too would like to see the issue resolved as soon as possible. School finance and its corollary, property tax relief, are the most pressing issues facing the state. The education of over four million students is at stake and nothing could be more important.

I would urge Senator Hutchison, along with any other state leader who wishes to do so, to offer a coherent plan for solving this critical issue. As Governors Bush, Clements, and Richards all learned before, there is nothing as complicated, complex, or challenging as school finance.

Cheers to Harvey Kronberg at Quorum Report for the links.
