Over a week ago, we noted some errors in a Chronicle editorial about the possibility of Judge Eckels leaving office early.
Today, the Chronicle issued a correction:
An editorial in the Feb. 4 Chronicle misidentified election dates to replace officials who resign. The city of Houston will hold an election to replace former City Councilwoman Shelley Sekula-Gibbs on May 12. If County Judge Robert Eckels resigns in the coming months, voters will choose a candidate to fill his unexpired term in November 2008.
It’s not clear why the correction took so long, but better late than never!
