Ailing Houston Lawmaker, Mario Gallegos, Makes Bed at Capitol to Block Bill
Tagged: Doctor, Houston, TexasPosted on: May 23rd, 2007“Against his doctors advice, a stooped and feeble Sen. Mario Gallegos arrives at the state Capitol each day, just to make sure the Senate does not take up a bill that would require voters to produce ID at the polls.
And when the rigors of the job start to wear on the Houston Democrat, whose body is trying to reject a liver transplanted four months ago, he retires to a hospital-style bed — donated by a Republican colleague — in a room next to the Senate chamber.”
