Texas Round-Up


by: Karl-Thomas Musselman

Wed Jul 21, 2010 at 07:17 PM CDT


While Matt, Katherine, MIchael, and Phillip are in the air on their way into Las Vegas for the 5th Annual Netroots Nation conference, I thought I'd do a big round-up of stories from across Texas. If you'd like to follow us while we're here at the conference, you can subscribe to our individual Twitter feeds or the BOR Staff Twitter List.

  • While he was at last year's Netroots Nation conference, Bill White is staying in Texas this time and will be campaigning in 18 East Texas towns this week. It may be the more politic thing for him to be doing (just like skipping out on meeting with President Obama when he's in Texas). Granted, the White campaign isn't particularly Netroots oriented, but he will be missed.

    edit: Bill White does have staff at Netroots, including their primary communications guy who's worked with media and bloggers. Plus he's got an event Thursday that involves a very large pizza.


  • Kuff looks at Harris County fundraising reports. Also check out his statewide reports.

  • San Antonio Spurs star Manu Ginobli, a native of Argentina, supports his country's adoption last week of gay marriage, the first country in South America to allow gays to marry.

  • A great post on why Voter ID wouldn't fly logistically in Texas.

  • San Antonio begins to define its downtown. So is Austin.

  • Kay is not so OK if she wants to run again in 2012.

Austin
  • T-Mobile rolling out 4G wireless in Austin.

  • A pocket park for the Rainey Street District in Austin? That would be cool.

  • The La Vista on Lavaca building is dead again. We might be faced with another empty shell building in downtown Austin.
