Today we went to the legislative hearing concerning the debate raging between the NFL Network and Time Warner/Comcast. It was interesting talking the representatives who didn’t really know what they were doing there since they don’t think this issue even falls under state jurisdiction. However, minutes into Jerry Jones’ speech, you could see many of their facing light up with admiration.

The gist of the meeting: both sides want a lot of money and it looks like one way or another we’re going to end up giving it to them.

Representative Mike Krusee announced he will not seek re-election to the Texas Legislature this afternoon. The announcement came after the Speaker’s office talked to Texas Weekly. Krusee fell out of favor with Craddick during the last session.

Krusee also faced criticism over his transportation bill that created regional mobility authorities, the Trans-Texas Corridor and the increased use of toll roads to fund major road projects.

Diana Maldonado, who serves on the Round Rock school board has indicated her intention to run for the seat in the Democratic primary. Read her statement regarding Krusee’s announcement on the Eye On Williamson blog.
