Say good-bye to another Texas Republican - State Rep. Dianne White Delisi will retire from the Lege after 16 years. No word if she plans to start performing weddings in her newly-acquired free time. As hers is a safe Republican district, the main action there will take place in the primary. If we're lucky, a non-Craddickite will emerge. Failing that, perhaps it will be someone who won't oppose needle exchange programs. Regardless, my best wishes to Rep. Delisi on her retirement. I join with your colleagues and constituents in thanking you for your service.
Posted by Charles Kuffner on September 21, 2007 to Election 2008I think many people who have worked in or followed the lege would agree that despite any ideological differences they might have with Delisi, she was a good and decent public servant. Though, I happen to not agree with her on many issues, I am sorry to see her go. She is a statesman (stateswoman?) in the best sense of the word.
