Houston/Harris County, TX Focus
For all my Texas Readers: CRITICAL: Three things you can do to help save Texas public schools...I will never understand why Republicans hate education so much. It has been shown over and over that strong education programs reduce poverty, crime and drug use, yet Republicans seem to prefer poverty, crime and drug use to supporting education
Some local news notes:
When Will Harris County Judge Ed Emmett Show The Leadership He Is Asking Of Others?
The hate fanned by republican rep Peter King erupts into suspected arson at a Houston Mosque
Candidate for Houston City Council called out for misleading mail
