Came to post this but you beat me to it. Screenshots are always the smart move though.
Since we're probably sufficiently derailed, FWIW, I left politics after the dust settled on it all and I am a much happier person for it. Helping people has never been political for me. I even helped some of the leaders of the anti-HERO campaign while it was all going on.BMX Bandit said:
When did I you were her campaign manager? If I did, it was in jest as I recall, you were routinely critical of her and were not a fan.
I do not have an obsession with you at all. I'm sorry that I recalled you tried deceive people about the HERO law. I thought it was very unlike you given that before that you came across as a good person who had helped many Ags with city issues.
Hell, would've been much more entertaining if Ogg ran against Lina in the primary. Imagine the **** throwing that would create in ads!Jugstore Cowboy said:
The r/houston comments on this article are hilarious. This is all a revenge play because Parker is besties with Kim Ogg. One comment after another spamming that it's about Kim Ogg.
Never mind that people have been trying to get Parker to run since Lina's first term.
I expect she'll spend most of her lame duck time "in treatment" or something along those lines.Ryan the Temp said:
I'm seeing stuff on social media teasing that some other "big name" is planning to hop into this race. If there are multiple better options than Lina, I think she definitely gets smoked in the primary.
Can you imagine Lina as a lame duck? That will be bonkers.
Whitmire will term limit as Houston Mayor. The GOP won't run anyone against him.Project Gemini said:
Whitmire should jump in since presumably Hollins will be running for mayor again with Sly and Shejack out of the way.
Hollins has been saying for years that he was being groomed to be mayor of Houston.Project Gemini said:

Whitmire won the runoff against SheJack by amost 30pts. The torch is Whitmire's until 2032.Project Gemini said:
And if he runs he is going to get a ton of Soros and company money thrown at him. A quick perusal of Hollins social media accounts is all you need to see that he is already positioning and campaigning for the next race.
She'll use it as a platform to try to get on someone's national coattails for 2028. Probably Cory Booker.ChipFTAC01 said:
She's probably too dumb/effective to do anything with her lame duckness

Nobody that's seen that woman speak is going to invite her on as a running mate.

Announcing while Lina is in France is just mean. That's going to totally ruin her taxpayer-funded vacation. She probably already had to go have a mental health break when she was told Anus was coming for her.

Wait, did her trip get eventually approved to be paid by tax payers??? I missed that if so

Must have been another temp. Let me guess, you were just passing along info, not trying to scare anyone.Quote:
The business community, on the other hand, is already freaking out about this because of the risk of damage to Houston's reputation is very high as it becomes ground zero for the first major LGBT-inclusive ballot issue since SCOTUS ruled on SSM.

I was standing in the room when a reporter had a conversation with an elected official about what was being said by major prominent representatives of the Houston business community. Other reporters mentioned to me the concerns they were hearing from major business leaders. The general consensus from them, and some additional polling on the issue by prominent local academics is that the public fight alone will be bad news for Houston's reputation. Business leaders are already concerned that Houston will lose the Super Bowl and other major events over this. They see it as a local version of what happened with Arizona and Indiana.
