(Ed.'s Note: Looks like Texas Board of Education District 2 representative Ruben Cortez is making a credible run against perennial State Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr. with the endorsement of the McAllen, Texas American Federation of Teachers for the Texas Senate District 27.
Cortez is also a former board member of the Brownsville Independent School District.)

Texas Monthly drops Lucio to ‘furniture’ roster
BY EMMA PEREZ-TREVIÑO/The Brownsville Herald | Posted Jun 5, 2009
In rating lawmakers following the Texas Legislature's 81st session, Texas Monthly dropped state Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr. from its "worst" legislators list and placed him on its "furniture" roster.
According to the Austin-based magazine's July issue, the term "furniture" refers to the least consequential lawmakers who have a low level of participation, rendering them indistinguishable from their desks and chairs.
Lucio made the worst list in 1997, 2003 and 2007. In 2001, he was recognized for the "Most Dubious Argument."
The magazine has issued the "Best and Worst" lists since 1973. Magazine Senior Executive Editor Paul Burka and writer-at-large Patricia Kilday Hart compiled the ratings this year.
"and that is the gospel truth," the senator added."
Lucio indicated that he made the list because, " I don't care never have and never will."
Actually, Hart covered the Senate and Burka covered the House of Representatives. "I stand behind Patty's judgment on this," Burka said. "There is not a day that we were not covering the Senate," Burka said.
While Lucio has been dropped from the worst list "some members think it's worse to be on the furniture list," Burka said.
In The Texas Monitor’s examination of campaign fund spending on categories that also include Austin apartments, cars and travel, Lucio ranked third in the Texas Senate, with him having spent $796,488 in the past decade.
His office didn’t reply to an email from The Texas Monitor seeking comment on this report.
