So the County Administrator retired and now they're debating if the position is even needed. The person was hamstrung because they cannot fire useless department heads.
La Comandante Lina Hidalgo outdid herself yesterday. As Harris County Sheriff's Deputies spoke to commissioner court, she stepped out, in the middle of their remarks. She explained that she needed to watch the Pope. Then, when she was pushed on the whopping pay disparity… pic.twitter.com/vqX5JQdmG9

We have a petulant child running the county gov't.
Thanks, CoH voters for giving all of us this unqualified trash.

But it is truly believable that Harris County is just another population center filled with more cretins for residents than reasonable people.Furlock Bones said:
it is truly unbelievable that she is in her position.

Wasn't butting heads with Rodney and not cutting in the right people on her Covid contracts how she got investigated and got her staffers indicted last time? You would think she would have learned.AlaskanAg99 said:
God, she's showing her incompetence again regarding security for FiFA. Theres another entire structure of safety collaboration between HC and Houston.
She gets ruffled because she's not a central person and tells everyone how "inappropriate and uncomfortable" she is. She hasn't read the agenda and the other commissioners are trying to explain to her what is actually going on. She has to "understand the issues" which she should have done before the meeting.
And last item is an argument about paying for international travel. Commissioners trying to talk to her but you know she knows best. And she butts heads with Rodney.

You're surprised the patch of concrete that's given us Sheila Jackson Lee, Q10, Sylvester Turner and Black Girl Magic has given us Dora?
Hell, I don't think we've seen nothin' yet.
If this is true, Ellis is not going to be very happy... Annise will not be his puppet.Ryan the Temp said:This may have been discussed previously on this thread, but word is Annise Parker is going to primary Hidalgo.Ciboag96 said:Furlock Bones said:

Annise knows how to work as part of the machine. She won't be his puppet, but she knows who in the machine needs their palms greased to get things done.taba82 said:If this is true, Ellis is not going to be very happy...

Some Harris County commissioners oppose Judge Lina Hidalgo's request to fund trip to ParisAlaskanAg99 said:
Court is today, including the revote on the Paris junket. Will happen this afternoon.
It's item#16.
Quote:
On Thursday, Harris County commissioners will meet. On the agenda is an item for $23,300 requested by the county judge's office for a delegation to travel for a week to Paris. The judge's office said it's an economic trip.
At first, Hidalgo tried to limit details. In prior meetings, she cited security concerns as a reason to avoid disclosing the location of the trip.
Quote:
The trip is about $23,000, and it's not the only one her office has requested.
ABC13 looked at each agenda since last year. The judge's office has requested more than $160,000 for travel.
