Best Dude Who Paid His Dues

Louis Malfaro

Since 1999, the president of Education Austin has been the champion of teachers' rights and the bane of trustees in the Austin Independent School District. Now he's off to become the secretary-treasurer of the Texas affiliate of the American Federation of Teachers. Monday night board meetings won't be the same without him, but the Legislature will learn what the trustees already know: When he's giving committee testimony, you better listen.
