Catching up
THE BLOGHOUSTON CREW unplugged and fully enjoyed this beautiful weekend....
Thankfully, two bloggers whose posts regularly exceed the quality of the output from the Chron's paid metro/state columnists put out some good stuff. In particular....
1) Unca Darrell skewers the ignorance of Chronicle editorialists when it comes to economics and international politics. Now, that may seem a little like shooting fish in a barrel, but Unca Darrell's post is really informative.
2) Slampo comments on Mayor Annise Parker's recent announcement that under-65 City retirees will be asked to contribute considerably more towards their health-insurance costs. On the chance we are among the silent legions of conservative bloggers Slampo identifies, the quick thought on this decision is that we aren't huge fans of balancing the budget on the backs of retired muni workers only (agreeing once again with Councilmember Bradford!), but we also aren't huge fans of balancing the budget via furloughs for, say, active police and fire personnel (as some cities are experiencing because of budget woes). Being mayor during tough economic times is certainly much less fun than overspending during boom times (thanks, Bill White for Texas).
