stop with the freebies for politicians

why?

because you're the rodeo -- you're bigger than they are

Garcia shows up late and starts blabbering about NASA.

Talking points about "Early Childhood Education" are out. This body squashed Lina's pet projects back in January. Now 1/2 the speakers are talking about the need for childcare. Which is what it is, subsidized childcare under the false guise of "education".

One interesting issue going on with FIFA is who's covering the security costs for all these matches?

Theres a big issue covering costs in Foxborough. The city has said no, they cant afford it. FIFA demands local officials cover the cost.

The gift that would keep on giving is if she did run, it would be the debate between Whitmire and Dora.

This week's court should be one for the ages. Will the Exec. Director of Harris County Flood Control District survive or will this be her day of reckoning that Comm. Ellis alluded to?

We're on schedule with the CDBG program per last court, but now asking the GLO for a 9-month extension. We're also not behind on the CDBG program, so let's throw another $12 million to staff augmentation for HCFCD. How do they plan to spend all that in a year or so?

Everything is fine.

Dora losing confidence in someone is peak irony regardless of how incompetent that person might be.

The reason FC is behind is bc the Ds on the board keep jacking with projects and timelines.

Its has been a complete mess since 2018 when the Ds took over. Now theyre trying to blame their meddling incompetence on Peterson.

The county also gives large projects to consultants who cannot perform. But they give campaign contributions so it's all good.
