NPT’s Capitol round-up is out for the week. Here’s the link. Below is the fun stuff:

Quote of the week: Joe Straus on being House Speaker:

“People ask that question a lot: ‘Is it what you expected?’ I have to answer, ‘I didn’t expect it so I don’t have a good answer for you question.’

Scene of the week: Burleson state Rep. Chris Turner’s hazing:
