Legislature Agrees on Conservatorship for TYC

March 2nd, 2007 at 3:59 pm

After hours of negotiation this afternoon, Dewhurst and Craddick just issued a Press release announcing the creation of a joint select committee on TYC, chaired by Senator Whitmire and Rep. Jerry Madden, to examine allegations of sex abuse at the agency and recommend reforms. Simultaneously, the release says, the Legislative Audit Committee voted unanimously to recommend that the Governor appoint a conservatorship. No word from Perry yet.
