I was puzzled to see that my senator, Whitmire, who sounded so skeptical of the anti-campus carry speakers in committee, still voted against HB972 in his committee. I've called his office to ask his to support it on the floor of the Senate.
I wonder if he knew there were enough R's to pass the bill out of committee, so voted against it to keep his 'D' in good standing?

I could see A&M as a university which might possibly *not* opt out...
