Texas Lege

These pix may be of particular interest to Molly Ivins fans. You know who you are! She frequently writes about the Texas Legislature, which she simply calls the Texas Lege, with a variety of emotions ranging from disgust to affection. Well, here are the chambers of the Texas Lege! Here's where the shenanigans that Molly outlines take place. The room with more desks and chairs is the House of Representatives, and the one that's less crowded is the Senate...I believe there are only 31 Senators, compared to 150 Representatives.
