Wonderful news!
It turns out that John Culberson isn't actually on the transportation committee anymore! Hasn't been on it since January 11, despite comments like March 29th's, "I have a responsibility to the Houston region to help improve our entire transportation network as the only Texan on the Transportation Appropriations Subcommittee."
Ciro Rodriguez, it turns out, is the only Texan on the Transportation Appropriations Subcommittee.
He's been a thorn in everyone's side about light rail expansion (big car dealership money, I suspect), and he's been throwing his weight around at town hall meetings and the like about his importance on the matter. The "No Rail on Richmond" folk have stupid signs that say stuff like "Thank God for Representative Culberson."
Ha! He's just one of 64 members of the Appropriations committee. A small, insignificant fish in a very large pond.
Carry on.
