Here’s what my good friend Edgar Colon asked (he was actually reading a question from the audience) yesterday at the Hispanic Chamber’s H-Town City Council District H Special Run-Off Election candidates’ forum yesterday: “District H is supposed to be a Hispanic district. Should it be represented by a Hispanic?”
Check out the Chron story.

“I would hope that a wise Latino Commentary with the richness of his experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a White Commentary who hasn’t lived that life.”
Speaking of, I have to say that the Lone Star State legislature has it all wrong on this red light camera stuff. Sure, it [...]
The Latina Thing

Commentary said it first yesterday and now a whole lot of folks are saying it. The GOP needs to be real careful on how they treat Judge Sotomayor during the confirmation process or they risk further alienating Latino and Latina voters across the U.S. of A. The New York Times has a piece on it [...]

The President picked a Latina – Sonia Sotomayor – for the Supreme Court and Commentary loves it! It hasn’t sunk in yet though. This is why we (Latinas and Latinos) fight the fight. Days like today make it all worthwhile.
Commentary just watched her make very moving remarks after being introduced by The President.
Too often [...]

Commentary’s Uncle Jesse got some run yesterday in the Chron on a piece about veterans this Memorial Day weekend. Uncle Jesse makes it a point to try to stay involved. He’s everywhere. Check out the story. Way to go Uncle Jesse!
According to today’s Chron, Guv Dude’s not having a good legislative session. Apparently, members of [...]
Watching The Green Debate

Commentary has been watching the back and forth on the takes folks have about Congressman Gene Green and his positions on the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (ACESA) that is working its way through Congress. Yesterday, Commentary helped put together the local Latino briefing on ACESA – about 25 folks showed up. [...]
The Dreaded Political Rumor Strikes Again

There is nothing more annoying to a major political campaign than the constant dreaded rumor. You know, the one that says things aren’t going as well as they should. We’re going through that again locally as one major campaign is being dogged by the dreaded rumor while the other two are not but they are [...]

Commentary’s old boss, former Lone Star State Guv Mark White, was asked what he liked best about his job. His response: when the legislature is not in session. I’m reminded of this after hearing that the State Senate thinks it is OK to carry a piece on college campuses but it is not OK to [...]

In the Chron this past weekend there was apiece about the H-Town police chief saying he is ready to pack it in. Look for the next police chief selection to creep into the mayoral campaign.
The Chron also reported that The Mayor got rid of the airport chief. Of course, who gets to run the airport [...]
