Texas lawmakers to examine FLDS raid
Posted by
The Texas State Legislature is forming a special subcommittee to take a second look at the raid on the Fundamentalist LDS Church’s YFZ Ranch.
At the start of a hearing of the Texas House Human Services Committee on Tuesday, Rep. Patrick Rose, D-Dripping Springs, announced the formation of the subcommittee.
“The situation in Eldorado over the interim presented real challenges for the department and real challenges for the state,” Rose said. “A lot of us have been talking about those issues during the interim.”
Rose said the subcommittee will schedule hearings in the coming weeks and would present a final report to the legislative committee, but he did not say what its specific focus would be.
“Those of us who are on the committee … care deeply about what we can learn, what lessons learned from that experience are,” he said.
Members of the Subcommittee on Investigations of Abuse and Neglect of Children and Interagency Cooperation will include Rep. Elliott Naishtat, D-Austin, Rep. Ana Hernandez, D-Houston, and Rep. Drew Darby, R-San Angelo.

I see no reason to have any faith in the intergity of the Texas state legislature. I smell a whitewash coming on. I notice they havent mentioned invtiitng the FLDS to tstify.
Of course it is a whitewash. Do you think the state of Texas will take responsibility for this outrage? I see no FLDS on the panel, nor the Health workers who made statements during and after the raid/confinement. There are probably CPS workers who would testify to the treatment and the stupidity of this raid. I dare them to call it a rescue.
