Krusee to Retire

Round Rock rep since 1993 has weathered transportation storms

Texas Weekly and the Quorum Report are reporting that state Rep. Mike Krusee, R-Round Rock, has decided not to run for re-election in 2008. The 48-year-old Krusee has represented District 52, which covers the southeastern half of Williamson County, since 1993. Thus far, his only announced opponent for 2008 had been Democrat Diana Maldonado. Krusee had come under fire in some corners for his support of toll roads and the Trans-Texas Corridor and from others for standing up to Speaker of the House Tom Craddick during last spring's power struggle at the Lege.
