Krugh Nomination Up in the Senate

The Senate plans to vote this evening on John Krugh's controversial nomination to the builder-dominated Texas Residential Construction Commission. Krugh is the corporate counsel for Houston homebuilder and GOP money-man Bob Perry.

Is Bob Perry's right-hand man a good choice to regulate the building industry?

Sen. Robert Duncan seemingly doesn't think so. The Lubbock Republican created a stir when he berated Krugh during a Senate Nominations Committee hearing. The committee passed out Krugh and three other controversial TRCC nominees on Monday. All three will be up for final Senate confirmation in a short while.
