I’ve been to many governmental entity meetings over the years, so I can’t say that the Harris County Department of Education tax increase hearing that I attended yesterday was the worst.

What You Might Want to Know About Houston’s Proposition 1
October 8, 2012 By
Taking a cue from Nancy Pelosi’s “we have to pass the bill so we can find out what is in it” let’s take a peek at Houston’s Proposition No. 1 to “find out what is in it”, shall we? Proposition No 1 seems innocuous enough. It makes sense to amend a city charter by removing [...]
