Of the 181 members of next year’s Texas Legislature, 89 have held fundraising receptions in the five weeks since the November election. So reports Jason Embry in the Austin American-Statesman.

But one of the common threads through these receptions (besides the money, of course) is the lobbyists who are in attendance. With opening day of the 2011 session just over a month away, Embry and KUT’s Ian Crawford discuss the nexus of lobbyists and money in this week’s “Texas Political Parlor.”
