It probably won’t amount to much, but our local METRO is now embroiled in a document shredding scandal. Come on! You are a freaking bus company not the CIA! Check out today’s Chron. The sub headline says “restore public confidence.” In the article, METRO is called an “embattled’ agency.” It looks like the folks that [...]

From the They Didn’t Ask Commentary Dept.: One of the Chron’s Columnists slapped around the (you guessed it – her quote) Coalition of Harris County Democratic Elected Officials today – again for the third time. I told you this was going to happen. Check it out. She wasn’t as brutal as she was a couple [...]

Houston has a flooding problem. We really haven’t had a mayor that has taken this issue head on. There is an interesting piece in the Chron today about a preliminary strategy that is being formulated on finding the funds to take on flooding. Check it out. My pal, new CM Stephen “Who’s On First” Costello [...]

Whoever thought up the idea of the Coalition of Harris County Elected Democratic Officials didn’t do the elected Democratic officials, the local Dem Party, and the Dem judicial candidates any favors. One of the Chron’s columnists has decided to put a bull’s eye on this new group as she has now penned her second critical [...]

Folks like CM James Rodriguez, immigrant activists, and Commentary said that if you let the City of H-Town start dabbling in immigration enforcement, paperless folks would probably not cooperate with HPD on reporting crimes. Sure enough, the Chron had a piece on this issue yesterday. Check it out. Here’s a part of the piece: “Cesar [...]

I have to hand it to H-Town’s New Mayor. She’s not pulling any punches when it comes to METRO. Here’s a bit from today’s Chron: “(METRO Board Chair David) Wolff, she said, has presided over an agency ‘that in my opinion, has been stuck in neutral for six years.’” Ouch! Way to go Mayor! Yesterday, [...]

I have to hand it to H-Town’s New Mayor. She’s not pulling any punches when it comes to last year’s firehouse graffiti incident. Check out the Chron story. She definitely calls out the former police chief on how he handled the investigation. Commentary always thought that the folks over at City Hall dropped the ball [...]

In looking over the first day of Harris County Early Voting results, of the eight locations that had turnouts in triple digits, five are the ones that are frequented by mostly African American voters. Two of course are the West Gray location and Downtown. If this continues, you have to figure that the races in [...]

“I don’t love Congress,” said U.S. Senator Evan Bayh (D-Ind.) yesterday when he announced he wasn’t running for reelection. Since Democrats are in charge of Congress, Bayh’s statement is pretty much an indictment on how Majority Leader Harry Reid and Speaker Nancy Pelosi have led. It looks like the Republican strategy is to keep fueling [...]

Here’s from this weekend’s Chron: “Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Austin, whose congressional district includes Sealy, said the Army decision was ‘the wrong decision’ for the workforce, troops in the field and U.S. taxpayers. There ‘appears to be a trend in this administration to move jobs out of Texas, whether it be cutting NASA’s human space flight [...]
