On with @MarkDavis, @KenPaxtonTX is asked about the House investigation into him.

"I don't know," Paxton says. "This is unprecedented for what they're doing. I have no idea why they've chosen to do this." #txlege
Paxton, cont'd.: "This is a level that is shocking to me, especially from a Republican House. This is what they're [using their] time to do instead of some of the important things like school choice." #txlege
Paxton says other statewide leaders are fed up with Phelan, he's just the first to speak out. "I have nothing personal against Dade," but "the results have not been good. The Senate delivers, the House does everything they can to slow things down." #txlege
