This may very well be H-Town Mayor John Whitmire’s signature project or big deal. He carried and passed the legislation last session that is allowing this to happen. See this from the Chron: Houston Mayor John Whitmire and Houston First head Michael Heckman on Thursday unveiled plans for a $2 billion overhaul of the George…

The Chronicle just posted that Cong. Sylvester Turner left us last night. The past hour and half folks were texting each other trying to confirm the rumor that the former H-Town mayor had passed. All of us are shocked to say the least. Wow! My heart goes out to his family, friends, and all who…

This is what we want to see from our local government.

I am sure you saw the Southwest Airlines jet as in the featured photo avoid the smaller private jet on the runway at Midway yesterday. Wow. Now that was a close call. When you are flying and you touch down, you kind of think that you are safely landing. I don’t know what I would…

This is from the lead story on the front page of today’s hard copy of the Chron: Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday ordered the Texas Rangers to investigate the April 2023 Lotto Texas draw in which a single player guaranteed it would win a $95 million jackpot by purchasing virtually every one of the 25.8…

Commentary didn’t agree with the TEA takeover of HISD. It happened and I hope that our schools improve so we can get out from under TEA control. I found the following in the Chron interesting.
