Interesting…
The House appointed five members to the Conference Committee on for HB 12 on 5/25. One of those members was Warren Chisum. Later that same day, Hilderbran had Chisum removed from the committee and replaced by Kino Flores of Hidalgo county.
I wonder why HH had Chisum removed. There could be a story there. MAYBE Chisum wouldn’t play along.
1,000 points to however solves this mystery.
