The Texas Observer paints an unflattering portrait of Dennis Bonnen who represented the ACC campus until 2003's redistricting, but still represents southern portions of our district.
Unflaterring if you consider yourself an environmentalist, not so if your priority is protecting the local petro-chemical industry.
His eleven years in the House put Mr. Bonnen in a position to chair the House Committee on Environmental Regulation, which he apparently uses to stop legislation which proponents argue would clean the environment and opponents claim would harm industry.
