Hitting 3s from half-court is one way to win the game:

Jesus Christ. I guess the question is that are these shootings stemming from traffic issues or shootings that just happened to be on roadways.

"This latest shooting on Airline makes eight shootings on Houston-area roadways in the past six days."

Completely ignoring exploding crime that's happening now, but already has the blame tee'd up for September.



She should be going after Boss Ogg and the total failure that bail reform has caused. I thought there was a running list of those that had been released and then then went on to commit murder. Something like 100 incidents that can be tracked.

Yea there is a guy with fox that has been tracking it as well as posting it all on Twitter, but i cant recall his name or handle. It is so terrible and these politicians and judges have so much mood on their hands and not a single peep about holding them accountable.

I thought she got it based on straight ticket voters who were backing Beto. Either way, the results are the same.

There was some announcement at 11:30 on the county spending $14M on something to reduce crime. But I didn't see it and I don't think there's a transcript up yet.

At least local law enforcement has their priorities straight.

We're on track for about 470 right now but I have faith our leadership can help us make a good run at 500.

The needle moved again over night. Road rage shooting victim makes it to hospital and dies.

Make it fuggin stop. Starting to really hate this world we live in. Just over the top pandering. Non-stop.

As someone else said, it is INSANE that gays get a whole month and those who have lost their lives defending this country get a single day.

Garcia promoting a surveillance tech called "Shot Spotter", the same microphones used in Chiraq to alert police when shots are fired.

You can see which direction they anticipate Houston to go towards.

Also, after the CC raided HCTRA for their reserve funds (which we pay through tolls), yesterday they raided the rest of the county departments rollover funds. Court went to 2am with the Constables putting up a fight, to probably no avail, and they have effectively partially defunded public safety.

I dont understand how they can just raid the funds set aside for x or y over and over. How long will these types of decisions impact the county?

I guess I know thqt is the ultimate reason for it but I guess I have some nonsensical altruistic vision of local government at least trying to play by the rules at least sometimes, but should very obviously know better by now, especially with this merry band of morons running the show.

More importantly is where are the funds going?

They did vote to hire a County Administrator along with staff. Not real clear on what this title actually does.

But they do this stuff in the middle of the night.

the houston mayor got caught paying his slam piece six figures a year of taxpayer money, and that was just his boy toy.

I know, and the other fella had a storage unit full of black market African art. They are all trash and the voters reject anyone who talks sanely and wants to get things in order. I know I know.

So that complete centralization of power/reorg measure passed?

I believe so, all this happened late after hours. It's very difficult to find reporting on what happens in Court.

3-2 vote, you can figure out how it fell.

https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2021/06/29/harris-county-commissioners-court-appoints-first-ever-county-administrator-despite-strong-opposition/

New county admin can hire/fire department heads. Current Budget Director is now the County Admin.

Russ Poppe of Flood Control abruptly resigned a few weeks ago. My gut says he was shoved out.

""I don't think anyone, no matter how well-meaning they may be, should be given this supreme chancellor-style powers over all the other 20 departments in this county," said Commissioner Cagle.
"In public transparency, we get an "F"," said Commissioner Ramsey.
Dozens of Harris County residents, including a judge and a couple of teachers, publicly opposed the measure during Tuesday's Commissioner's Court.
"The fact that this was done quietly or quickly, without any public discussion or input, wreaks," said one resident.
The agenda, including the item related to the appointment of a county administrator, was made public on Thursday, June 24, four days before the meeting."

4 days notice, so much for "Transparency".

The storage unit, was AC'd and on public property. No one could identify the true ownership of the art.

He gave tours through his collection. Then the issue just disappeared when Lina took over. Not sure if it's still there or not.

Wtf. The new position gets to define their role themselves? Yea, no conflict of interest there. Disgusting.

"The new administrator has 45 days to come up with a plan for exactly what the new structure will look like."

We got one death back overnight! Would be home-invade shot dead by Mullet Man

Not shocking that Ch 13 had some grumblings and confusing, biased verbiage they injected in this story. I saw this story at least three times on the live broadcast this morning and the libtard anchor who replaced Tom Koch stated "a homeowner may face a grand jury for shooting a suspected home invader" (paraphrasing), but that is some garbage! It completely contradicts what HCSO officer stated.
