As the Hermine rains move on, reporters will be returning to actual news beats (we hope). In the meantime, here are some morning tidbits from another slow news cycle:
- Gov’t ethics probe turns into probe of gov’t waste (Wayne Dolcefino, KTRK-13 News)
You never know what an investigative report might turn up for citizens/taxpayers. It’s far preferable to PR posing as journalism. - Tomball trying to outlaw illegal immigrants (Jason Volentine, KIAH-39 News)
The absurdity of the headline does say something about the problem, no? The Chronicle reports that Tomball’s council voted down the proposal. - Houston, Texas, and Albuquerque, New Mexico Receive $923,000 to Reduce Greenhouse Gases (EPA)
Woo, free money! It IS free money from someone else, right? Err… yeah, well, let’s just not worry about those pesky details. After all, FREE MONEY will be helping us develop “solar-powered LED lighting on bike paths to improve safety!”
