Well, I had thought that there was a controversy at the end of the legislative session where the hate crimes law in Texas was -- failed, and that the Byrd family, among others, asked you to support it, Governor, and it died in committee for lack of support. Am I wrong about that?
Laws made against hate crimes were purposely pushed aside and not given much support because of the Republican majority in the state.
