They threw everything at Judith Cruz, candidate for HISD Trustee District VIII. Some of the folks helping the opposition or on the other side are buddies of mine. I respect them, but come on! They strongly hinted that she was not a Latina. On their last mailer they referred to her as Judith Jacob Cruz. [...]

The opposition’s attack on HISD Trustee District VIII candidate Judith Cruz continues. The latest was in a mail piece that kind of hinted that Judith was not a Latina. Oh brother again! I was checking out the campaign reports and it turns out the dreaded Coalition of Harris County Democratic Elected Officials plunked down $10,000 [...]

Lone Star State Dems got a consolation prize of sorts when a Travis County jury convicted DeLay. I wonder if DeLay thinks it was all worth it. I wonder if he thinks it is worth jail time. The Chron’s E-Board would like to do away with straight ticket voting. I don’t know about that. It [...]

Commentary won’t be saying anything today about the HISD Trustee District VIII run-off other than to say that today at 7 p.m. is the deadline for Early Voting. You can go to Austin High, Furr High, Gregory-Lincoln Education Center, or West Gray. Other than the HISD Trustee District VIII run-off and the state legislative race [...]

From Judith Cruz, HISD Trustee District VIII Candidate: Much has been made recently about my alleged opposition to "nutritional breakfasts" for HISD students. I want to take a couple minutes to set the record straight. First, I’m an HISD parent. I send my eldest child to my local HISD school in the Eastwood community. The [...]

On last week’s Port Commission deal, the blah, blah, blah, and blah continues. Brotherly Worthiness sent out his “observations” and put some words in CM Bradford’s piehole. CM Bradford then demanded a “retraction” and got it yesterday. The Chron’s Columnist put out his take yesterday on the Port Commission deal with more blah, blah, blah, [...]

First, the bad news. If it’s true that the countries that out-teach us today will out-compete us tomorrow, we’re in deep trouble. American kids’ test scores are consistently lousy compared to those of kids in other industrialized countries. And at the very bottom of the American heap are urban kids, minority kids, kids from poor [...]

Nails! That’s a good description for H-Town CM James Rodriguez and Port Commissioner Janiece Longoria. A lesson was learned yesterday. Don’t underestimate CM James Rodriguez or Port Commissioner Janiece Longoria. There is no disputing that CM Rodriguez established his position as our community’s leader yesterday as he led the effort to protect the Latino community’s [...]

On chron.com, there is piece out of the Brownsville Herald about Latinos not having a national leader. I knew that. Here’s a bit of what is said: Nearly two-thirds, or 64 percent, of Hispanics surveyed said they did not know whom they consider as "the most important Latino leader in the country today." An additional [...]

The Judith Cruz for HISD Trustee District VIII campaign must be doing something right as more charges were leveled at her yesterday. I’m not going to mention yesterday’s charge other than to say “you gotta be kidding.” Judith’s campaign will be putting out some good news later today so stay tuned! The front page of [...]
