| Virtually every Democrat in Harris county hopes that the local party can replicate what its peers in Dallas did in 2006. It's more than just partisan bickering, too. Every countywide office is held by a GOP member, and power has gotten to their heads. No government can work like that; period.
(And Houston has thought that it might one day secure an Olympic Games -- let's secure overall good government, first. Theoretically, that should be easier.)
Matt Angle of the Lone Star Project thinks that this power is only increasing the chances of Republican loss: With each passing day, the all-Republican county leadership in Harris County, which includes the city of Houston, is demonstrating why they should be replaced. Virtually every Republican county-wide office holder is directly or indirectly involved in an ethical or administrative scandal.
To help facilitate the arrival of good government, the Lone Star Project has launched a Republican Rap Sheet. Here you can examine the misdeeds of the Republican sheriff and Republican chief executive officer of the county.
And then at that point, we'll know why we're voting against them. |
