Charlie Urbina Jones elected Texas DemVets Chair, 10-10

Local Attorney Charlie Urbina Jones (photo) was elected Chair of the Texas Democratic Veterans (DemVets) in Austin earlier today. Jones, along with local fellow DemVets Larry Romo (Immediate Past President) "Creeper" Elizondo & Walker Report Publisher Steve Walker, among others testified on numerous occasions in the past to encourage the Legislature to pass the "Hazelwood" Act (Texas GI Bill) to allow children of Veterans to use unused veteran's educational benefits for college @ state universities such as UTSA, Palo Alto, San Antonio College & Northwest Vista.

Governor Rick Perry recently signed the legislation into law @ UTSA 1604.
