Lots of stuff to catch up on....
Mayor Annise Parker is going all in to save HER Ordinance. - At the cost of the City of Houston's long-term financial future.
What the Chron thinks is valuable political reporting. - Or, it could be said, that this is what certain Chron reporters are into these days.....
The TLSPM "gets" what Perry's victory means. - They're just angry because of what it means so they're trying to downplay it. (This is a group that tried, and failed, for years to 'get' Perry. Now what they viewed as their best chance is slipping away.)
Speaking of HER Ordinance... - The Pastors that were (perhaps unconstitutionally?) targeted by the administration are fighting back.
It's a little ironic that HER Ordinance is hurting those she wants to most support. - This is what happens when a politician gets "personal" and stops doing the job for which she was elected.
And then there's this. - Parker's single-mindedness on preserving HER Ordinance is threatening to make some pretty drastic changes to City Charter that could take a while to unwind. The damage could be very real.
Paxton to surrender, wrong questions being asked. - Why do you need to register with the State to provide investment advice anyway?
Perry has quietly been having some pretty solid policy speeches of late. While "oops" is what the TLSPM would like you to remember the truth is Perry, of whom I'm no fan, has been knocking it out of the park lately, for the most part.
Fikac's obsession with Patrick's Facebook continues. - Her writing is just getting weirder and weirder.
The dumbing down of politics is a habit at the Chron. - First porn stars now Game of Thrones. Next we'll be seeing Nick Anderson try to do a Doonesbury knock off.
For your enjoyment, an article on smoked boudin. Maybe the most important piece of journalism appearing in the Chron this month.
Preserving wetlands in a coastal area is a worthy goal. - But I doubt the critics, or the Chron, realize what their goal of ultimate preservation truly means.
"What part of safety don't you understand?" With METRO and her supporters, it's always the rubes that live in Houston's fault. Never mind that the design is faulty.
