Well she is most definitely incompetent.

Insider on this thread makes it sound more like the intoxication clause.
Lina Hidalgo’s “abdominal ailment” JUST BEFORE THE NOVEMBER ELECTION was widely believed in Houston political/media circles to be an anxiety/depression episode. At one point her office claimed “food poisoning”. This happened the day @alexmealer ‘s campaign reported raising a…

surely this has been tried already, no?
Court is today. I can't remember how early someone has to register to speak so this may get real interesting.
And reportedly she left the stare a week ago for treatment. With the election lawsuits having also starred last week, it's going to get rather interesting.

Plus eleventy billion internets to anyone that sees her in the background of a Jrey or Carla or Coco photo in Tulum or Dubai or somewhere during her "treatment" and shared that photo here.

The problem is, the petition is filed in Harris County District Court, and all the judges are Team D. I'm not saying it shouldn't be tried, but just it's an uphill battle.
"Incompetence" is defined in part as:
Quote:
unfitness or inability to promptly and properly discharge official duties because of a serious physical or mental defect that did not exist at the time of the officer's election
It does not help the cause to allege she had this issue before the election.
no she's probable already left the country, she's smart enough to skip town. that's what she did the last timemaroon barchetta said:

This. She knows something is coming and is just getting her victim status set to get out in front of it.Big Al 1992 said:
So your staff was all indicted over a year ago for pretty obvious criminal behavior and you have somehow managed to avoid it - so far - but you still could be indicted and it could be around the corner. I guess that would be depressing.
I'm still waiting for the indictments that the Tine Board political experts promised last year.
What a tease.
What a tease.
I'm still not convinced she's smart enough to have been in on that. I think her staff took advantage of her being clueless to (attempt to) get away with a bunch of stuff.Big Al 1992 said:

I also don't think she's smart enough for this master plan people are laying out of playing a victim before a shoe drops....
I think she's just completely incompetent, overwhelmed, and fragile/can't handle adversity.
this.

Still doesn't excuse her.
I fully expect the 89th Legislative Session to introduce bills aimed at addressing elected officials who take leaves of absence.
Not sure anyone is saying it does….
yup doesn't excuse her, and she's ultimately responsible. but, the point is she's no evil genius. in fact, she's so far over her skis, that it would be laughable if her job didn't have such an impact on the county.
I realize there is nothing brewing in the Atlantic or the Gulf right now, but isn't it even the least bit concerning that the Harris County CEO and main decision maker for emergency management is seeking treatment at an out-of-state facility in the middle of hurricane season? Is the county on auto-pilot if a storm develops over the open ocean?
She was sent away. This was not her doing. She stepped on the wrong toes enough times and embarrassed herself just enough that it wasn't going to be tolerated anymore.
What does "sent away" mean? She's never coming back/will resign or this is just temporary punishment?
Until she resigns she's still technically the County Judge on a leave of absence.

Probably buying time for her party to identify their chosen replacement to trot out. With the upcoming elections for mayor, DA, etc. they may want to see who doesn't make it through the remainder of this year in certain races.Chewy said:

She pissed off Rodney Ellis one too many times. She's being run out of office. Her "depression" will be the cover for when she resigns. Her mental health is more important, etc.
But, don't hold this as the gospel. It's just the scuttlebutt I hear from several people that tend to know things.

Maybe because I just want so badly for it to be true!
All the ding dongs being interviewed after court session yesterday, mainly Adrian Garcia, when asked 'what happens in a case of emergency:
"Hidalgo said she would be available in the event of an emergency. Still, Garcia said the county has enough experienced staff on hand to allow Hidalgo to focus on her mental health should an emergency arise.
"The treatment should be first and foremost," he said. "We have other capable people here."

Do these asshats really not see the idiocy in what they're saying?
Assume everything they've said is true….our fearless leader is taking a leave of absence and going to rehab because she's depressed and the stress of the job is weighing on her. So likely not in the best mental space.
But, if we have a critical situation/emergency, she'll be fine to come back to work…..

It's their way. All of them. They all wake up in the morning saying "How can we fool the public today?"
Watch the presser after Biden was calling out for a dead representative, thinking she might be in the room. His mouthpiece covered for him hoping nobody would question it. They did question it, and she doubled and tripled down on her answer.
They really believe they are enlightened and everyone else is a drooling moron. Considering who elected them, they are partially correct.
i mean, there should be stand ins designated. if there isn't a plan already they ought to get their s*** together and make one.Booma94 said:

ignoring for a moment who we're talking about, it is a bit unfair to ask someone with a mental issue to plan their mental breakdowns better.
Yeah...You were elected to do a job and provide a service. You can either can or you can't.
