(Austin) - The following statement was issued today by Alexis DeLee, press secretary for Speaker Tom Craddick, in response to Attorney General Greg Abbott’s opinion:
"The speaker welcomes the attorney general's opinion and his acknowledgement that the rules of the House, as well as the interpretation of those rules, are matters to be determined solely by the members of the House. The attorney general's opinion affirms the speaker's position on all issues, including that the speaker is an officer of the state, who serves a two-year term of office.
Now that the attorney general has rendered his opinion, the speaker looks forward to continuing to work with legislators on the important business of the state."
