Buzbee about to go off

As I said all along this should have never been a ballot issue.

So everybody get their job back now or is this a double whammy?

take the checks back!!

Can't wait for this to be appealed and the city can spend more money on defense...

When all is said and done much more resources will have been spent on this debacle than it would have been to pay the firefighters.

One good thing is that maybe the average Houston low intelligence voter might rub two brain cells together before voting on propositions, but I have my doubts.

A democrat judge siding with Turner? Shocked!

Mayor Turner and his band of merry men aka police officers are all happy. They have robbed from the rich and gave it to the poor citizens of Houston;

The lawyers on the case are an interesting bunch, too:

The city hired Norton Rose Fulbright.

The police union hired Hunton Andrews Kurth (lead attorney Kelly Sandill, whose husband Ravi Sandill is the democrat judge of the 127th District Court a couple floors down).

The fire fighters hired Baker Botts, who made sure to have former TX supreme court justice Tom Phillips sign his name on every pleading (though it is unlikely he did much, if any, work on the case).

Talk about a political pissing match. This will go all the way to the supreme court of Texas, no doubt.

But at least the lawyers get paid. The rest of you are just suckers.

So while I'm out taking pictures with the ARSON Division of HFD, we learned that a judge declared Prop B unconstitutional. And we learned that the mayor announced the decision during the council meeting. I watched the smugness in which the mayor announced the decision and thought to myself, this will end his reign as mayor. Let's be clear: 298,000 voters voted for Prop B. The firefighters will get the raise we all voted for, one way or the other. WE WON'T ALLOW THIS MAYOR TO USE TAXPAYER MONEY TO PAY LAWYERS TO USE LEGAL TRICKS TO DEFY THE WILL OF VOTERS. If you are a politician in this town and you are supporting this mayor, you best jump ship. Your photo ops will be used against you very soon. If you are a donor, you might want to invest in someone else. If you do business with the city and you are a Turner campaign donor, get ready to be turned out. Change is coming!!!

I'm still trying to figure out why the police are involved in this matter.

The firefighters tied their salaries to police salaries. So some FD positions that did not require a degree were tied into police salaries that do require a degree. Which means going forward for the police to get a raise, the corresponding FD position as defined by the Fire Department must also get a raise, consequently, making it less likely to get bigger raises for both departments because each raise will cost significantly more.

I hate "woke" speak

Interesting that a Democrat voted for the liberal mayoral candidate?

WGAS that it's an all female lawyer team?

She's an "equality advocate" who has an all female lawyer team fighting to keep fire fighters from having equal pay.

Garrison, despite being a democrat, was one of the more qualified candidates for judge based on the cases and appeals she handled.

No doubt that politics is in play on these issues and with the hirings of various counsel. However, based on my understanding of the case it is a constitutional (and govt code) issue which is much less politically driven.
