What Wick forgot to mention

D magazine publisher Wick Allison who's thinking more like me every day (Is he getting more liberal or am I getting more conservative?) blogged today about the federal stimulus funds that will pay three years' salaries and benefits for hiring new police officers in Dallas, surrounding cities, other cities in Texas as well as bunch of other metropolitan areas around the country.

He did mention that Gov. Hair, who is opposed to all things federal, might decide "to grandstand against the federal government" like he did with the much-needed stimulus money to bolster the state's unemployment compensation funds. What he forgot to mention is that Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, who will probably be Hair's main opponent in next year's GOP gubernatorial primary, voted against the stimulus package this money is coming from.

So, of course, it is my duty to remind you that she is as much a villain when it comes to protecting Texas citizens as the incumbent governor.
