News and views roundup (10/21/10 edition)
The news and views roundups keep coming later for some reason...
- HISD spends $18 million in stimulus cash to pay salaries of 200+ workers it doesn't need (Lynn Walsh, Texas Watchdog)
- Metro will use mediator for cancellation of Spanish rail car deal (Chris Moran, Houston Chronicle)
- CenterPoint sees need for speed (Purva Patel, Houston Chronicle)
- Houston police officers warned to be careful of what you post on social media (Isiah Carey's Insite)
- King Street "Patriots": Voter Intimidation Continues At Polling Stations Around Houston (Hair Balls)
Continues? Umm, no. If Village Voice Houston wanted to get in on the Lazy MSM "Voter Intimidation" Narrative (tm), which involves reporting rumor/innuendo without verifying facts or calling sources, then they are about three days too late (the Chron and KTRK-13 owned that action). This is yet the latest sad example of amateurs running amok at Village Voice Houston. Contrast with today's real journalism on the whole "voter intimidation" story.* - Piggybacking (Unca Darrell)
- A Question of Politicking (Harris County Almanac)
* Of course, now that the Lazy MSM Narrative of the first couple of days has been laid to rest, we imagine that a few new examples of "voter intimidation" will be manufactured for some members of the local press to obsess over. Look for that in breathless reports tomorrow, or early next week.
