With the release of videos showing top-level Planned Parenthood executives discussing the market value of fetal remains, I'd like to know where U.S. Rep. Marc Veasey and state Rep. Nicole Collier stand.
[…]
The voters in east Fort Worth are entitled to know whether Veasey and Collier support the practices of Planned Parenthood.
They deserve to know whether any of the campaign money Veasey and Collier received came from sales of fetal organs or tissue.

Two Texas school districts are among the top 20 districts across the country to experience the largest reduction under the funding plan. Houston ISD, with a poverty rate of 33.9 percent, will experience a cut of $17.1 million. Dallas ISD, with a poverty rate of 36.8 percent, will experience a cut of $13 million, according to the report.
U.S. Rep. Marc Veasey, D-Fort Worth, said he often had a chance to talk to Sutherland when meeting with Angle in Washington.
"He was a very low-key guy, very quiet, but just a really good guy," Veasey said. "He was very nice, very respectful and he always worked really hard."
Sutherland believed in his work at the Lone Star Project, said Gosar, a legislative correspondent and aide for Veasey.
"He was a really kind, very gentle person, and he honestly believed in the Texas progressive cause," he said. "He wasn't from Texas, but he was ready and willing to help."
