Shapiro joining White House trip to Israel
State Sen. Florence Shapiro, R-Plano, has been chosen to join the White House delegation to Israel to celebrate the nation’s 60th anniversary.
The honorary delegation of about 80 people includes a bevy of big names from the religious, political, academic and business worlds. Among the other delegates are former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Nobel laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, Hawaii Governor Linda Lingle and Mort Zuckerman, chairman and editor-in-chief of U.S. News and World Report.
The celebration will be held in Jerusalem this week.

Is this an indication that Shapiro has a good last name for a trip to Isreal? A good way to get her into the Republican fold because she will run for KBH’s senate seat? What interest does she represent? Why do the taxpayers need to pay for the trip and security for 80 people? Will this end up being a “quid pro quo” for something? Stay tuned to see what the true cost of this trip will be for the taxpayers.
