Thank you for wasting our tax payer dollars on unnecessary and irrelevant litigation. Not only did you waste our money, but now I'm having to go back to wearing a damn mask everywhere. I don't recall the exact consequences, but not overly interested in finding out either. I will reluctantly comply with this ridiculous mandate, to avoid any repercussions. It was fine for months, but all the sudden the yard flair is back in style.

Yeah I'll just leave any establishment with the balls to try and enforce it. I no longer carry masks with me nor do I see their purpose.

I don't think she can do **** until the Texas SC rules. Otherwise she would have already done something yesterday.

There's no valid mandate in Harris currently.

Is it time to get a city wide law suit against her? Can the citizens do a class action against the city? Maybe it's time Mr Buzbee gets involved ?

Just a reminder that Hidalgo had never held a real job that required any leadership, management, or decision making skills before being elected to run a county of like 6 million people with a multi-billion dollar annual budget. She was a translator at a hospital and after college went to Asia to tell people how to start their own blog. There are literally hundreds of thousands of people living in Harris County significantly more qualified and experienced than her to do that job. She is a novice political hack. Rally sad for the people who live there.

Abbott should have put this on the agenda for one of the special sessions. There's been plenty of time for the legislature to act. Failure to do that is on Abbott and I haven't heard a good explanation for this. Even if he didn't want to reign in emergency powers generally for all Texas government entities, he could have enabled the legislature to address this specifically and he didn't. Frankly, the biggest "miss" here is we all saw first hand how easily "emergency powers" can be abused and there was nothing done about it. Zero. If anything has made me want to get into politics directly or indirectly, the whole emergency powers sham has been it.

Counties are political subdivisions of the state. The legislature has full authority to act if they wanted to and were allowed to. I'm guessing, for one reason or another, they didn't which is why Abbott left it off of the special session agenda. He got the political points and press conference sound bites from his EO, which is apparently all he wanted.

This doesnt really change or mean anything. This is Dora trying to stay relevant. If there was some sort of order to actually come down from her office, it would be celebrated and plastered all over the news. And this isn't even showing up on the Chron who carries her milk bags all day, everyday.

I was mostly pointing out the sentiment is returning among businesses to require worthless masks. I would say 80% of the people that came in our bank this week were wearing at least 1 mask. Quite a few wearing 2.

This one is a little different. It's completely unenforceable except by the businesses and their employees. And that puts employees in a terrible position. If a business wants to take on the onus of requiring the masks and policing it themselves, that's on them.

The bigger issue is her specifically calling out school superintendents. Masks have no place in schools. TEA needs to step in and say that they are disruptive to the learning environment and prohibit districts from requiring them.

Yes.

Failed leadership to the point that I gotta conclude they are willing participants.

We gone off the rails so far we can't even see the rails.

My company requires them 100% of the time in the workplace again, regardless of vaccination status. They also said wearing gaiters is still OK, but now you have to wear two of them layered up. So effing dumb.

For the first and probably last time ever, I saw something interesting on r/houston.

Someone took a deep dive on Lina's corrupt coronavirus "outreach" contract:
https://www.reddit.com/r/houston/comments/rwo4qe/more_infocontext_on_11m_vaccine_outreach_contract/

They also shared a dropbox with files related to the secret bid process:

From all I've seen and read, Dora - the ignorant twit , beyond what her handlers put in front of her to read, hasn't a clue as to what is going on.

I would like to know is how would such an ignorant, inexperienced individual suddenly wake up and go "Hey, I think I can throw my hat in the ring, win an election, and take on and run one of the largest operations in the country."

Just how can I someone with no background, no experience, really expect to succeed?

Hell, where did she get the idea to try? Who put her up to it? Who suggested it? Bank rolled it?....

Seeing as the previous guy expected to win and the democrats had lost a bit against him, no one wanted to run. So she put her name in the hat. And won. You could do the same.

Someone in the Dem leadership said "we need a candidate that checks the following boxes in Harris County:

- minority, preferably Hispanic since the fake Hispanic Ivy leaguer from El Paso is running and the state has more and more Hispanic citizens
- female would be preferable
- moderately attractive
- easy to manipulate and would just be glad to have the job"

Who funded it is up for debate but they seemingly wanted a person that could be Harris County version of AOC. If an opposing candidate says anything negative about them the left can immediately cry racism or sexism. They want built in defenses.

ActBlue. Her initial campaign report had hardly any local money, it was mostly out-of-town and out-of-state money. I haven't gone through all of the reports to see if she picked up any big donors subsequently.
