AUSTIN, Texas (AP) _ Republican Speaker Joe Straus is calling House Democrats “obstructionists.”
Straus spoke out Monday as Democrats continued a fourth straight day of stall tactics to kill a controversial bill that would require Texans to provide additional identification before voting.
Straus said the delays are threatening a slew of major legislation that must be considered before a Tuesday night deadline.
“They are obstructionists, clearly,” Straus said. “We have a lot of business that’s unfinished.”
