The good news is that the fine folks at the Texas Observer are doing something that they were born to do - they've set up a Legislature blog, which promises "incisive reporting on key issues of the 79th Legislature and the characters behind them." The bad news is that their scheduled debut is April 15. As Scott says, y'all do realize that the session ends six weeks after that, right? Well, barring overtime, which, given the utter hash that the House made of school finance reform, looks like a good bet to me.

I've added it to my subscriptions anyway, in case they change their mind and start posting early. I'm definitely looking forward to their efforts.
