Texas Republicans apparently are a bit upset with how Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst has been doing his job. Many argue that he was responsible for the sucessful filibuster against the abortion bill that led to the need to call a second special session.
The Texas Tribune reports that area Senator Dan Patrick will run against Dewhurst for Lieutenant Governor in 2014 partly due tto his ineffectiveness in the office.
For this week's assignment I want you to research the precise criticisms made of Dewhurst's performance. Why is he argued to be an ineffective Lieutenant Governor? Might he be damaging the office?
