Rep. Elliott Naishtat Hospitalized After Bike Accident But In Good Spirits
State Rep. Elliott Naishtat was hospitalized following a bicycling accident in Minnesota, but fear not -- the progressive champion is on the mend and in good spirits.
During the annual bike ride at the National Conference of State Legislators held this year in Minnesota, Naishtat hit a guard rail hard and punctured his calf which resulted in severe swelling and internal bleeding.
Thankfully Naishtat is expected to make a full recovery and be back here in Austin shortly.

[font color=green]Elliott was my state representative when I lived in Austin during the 1990s. I was able to meet and discuss various issues regarding state employees during that time. He is a true gentlemen and I hope that he recovers quickly. A "Get Well Soon" email card is available at the link.[/font]
