The news and views roundups keep coming later for some reason…
- HISD spends $18 million in stimulus cash to pay salaries of 200+ workers it doesn't need (Lynn Walsh, Texas Watchdog)
- Metro will use mediator for cancellation of Spanish rail car deal (Chris Moran, Houston Chronicle)
- CenterPoint sees need for speed (Purva Patel, Houston Chronicle)
- Houston police officers warned to be careful of what you post on social media (Isiah Carey's Insite)
- King Street "Patriots": Voter Intimidation Continues At Polling Stations Around Houston (Hair Balls)
Continues? Umm, no. If Village Voice Houston wanted to get in on the Lazy MSM “Voter Intimidation” Narrative ™, which involves reporting rumor/innuendo without verifying facts or calling sources, then they are about three days too late (the Chron and KTRK-13 owned that action). This is yet the latest sad example of amateurs running amok at Village Voice Houston. Contrast with today’s real journalism on the whole “voter intimidation” story.* - Piggybacking (Unca Darrell)
- A Question of Politicking (Harris County Almanac)
* Of course, now that the Lazy MSM Narrative of the first couple of days has been laid to rest, we imagine that a few new examples of “voter intimidation” will be manufactured for some members of the local press to obsess over. Look for that in breathless reports tomorrow, or early next week.
