Here's my view on all of this...for what it's worth.

it's been stated that it's the "Calendar Committee's" fault that a bill, or another bill hasn't gotten to the floor. Or that it's some other committee's fault that a bill wasn't voted out. The way I understand it, the Calendar Committees are pretty much the most powerful committees and yeh, I absolutely agree they should be on video, that should go before the "transparency in government" committee,...that said, who appoints the member to the committees? Strauss and Paxton, I think. If Strauss is appointing people to the most powerful committee, why on earth would he appoint people he can't depend on? even Dems? I would think the Calendar Comm. would be a big reward type thing....and one wouldn't get on it and then make him mad...
Add to that, it seems like the whole House has been a mess this session, esp the last week....Strauss has had very little control....you just have to watch for a while to see it. Last night was a good example.

I don't know if any of this makes sense or if it's just ramblings....

I can't get the House video feed to load....
they managed to kill the Sunset bill last night
