Daily Texan profiles Strama's First Month

By Byron LaMasters

It's worth a read to see how Austin's freshman lawmaker has been spending his time in his first month at the lege. It's amusing that the one issue Strama has found success in finding a GOP co-author (Rep. Corbin Van Arsdale, R-Houston) is the resolution calling for the abolition of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) for College Football. It worked for the Longhorns this year, but it's still a bad system that doesn't allow for the best teams in the country a shot at the national championship. Now, what the Texas legislature can do to change the BCS is beyond me, but it's nice to know that we can get bipartisan agreement on football, if nothing else.

Speaking of Mark Strama, he was spotted at the 15th Street Starbucks by In the Pink, Texas last week. Geez, maybe if I'd spend more time at that Starucks, at the Texas Chili Parlor or at the Cloak Room, I might have politician sightings, too.
