I can't imagine anything more prestigious and imminently qualifying than attending the 196th-ranked law school.

How do they pass the bar exam?

They did not deprive of us a vote, they rightfully recognized the proposal wasn't even worth wasting our time on at the polls.

Honestly, there are course that teach true memorization of the bar. No knowledge of law, just teaching how to pass.

I don't say that as a knock against practicing attorneys on this board, but if Kim Kardashian can practice law, why can't you?

Fun Fact: I knew a guy whose parents taught at TSU which means he could have gone to TSU Law for free, he went to a different law school.

This may come as a shock, so hold on to something.

Al Green is a proud TSU Law Graduate.

I could be wrong, but "a subterfuge" is grammatically incorrect. There was at least one other grammatical error in that statement as well.

There's virtually nothing she could do that's worse than trying to steal $11 million, then making her staffers take the fall for it.

Anyone else find comically ironic that a democrat is throwing a temper tantrum about the idea of removing an elected official from office on frivolous grounds? Pretty damn rich

If there was ever a justified use of the C word to describe someone it'd be for Lina.

It would be funny if it did somehow get on the ballot in November and then got shot down by a huge margin. Although Harris County might be dumb enough to vote yes for something like this.

Only the incorporated parts of the County. They have to rig the unincorporated parts to manipulate the elections to suppress the red areas of the County.

Doraing down should be a new term in politics
When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say.

Yall are using too much common sense.

The issue is people are stupid. They hear Lina's "let the people decide" cry and agree with her. Despite how stupid, inefficient and half baked the idea is. Just look at the comments on social media posts news outlets are making on this story. "You go girl!" "Why I voted for her!" Etc

Its not about the children. Its about approving funding so Dora and her friends can get paid. Shes mad that everyone else has a spot at the trough and she's too stupid and unlikeable to get a turn.

Exclusive: Hidalgo staffer says he was 'blindsided' by the use of children in chaotic meeting

Quote:

As he dove into the job in March, working long hours, building on previous work by Hidalgo's staff, he tried to identify obstacles and untangle a labyrinth of competing interests. He sought guidance from local education experts, community leaders and a national group that helps municipalities navigate the winding process of establishing early childhood education programs.

After intense study, Ayala became convinced that the most successful model was organic, community led, with a timeline of at least two years. But he said Hidalgo and her staff made it clear that wasn't an option they had to make the November ballot. It wasn't just that the clock was ticking on federal funds, it was the worry, he said, that if they waited until 2026, Democratic commissioners up for re-election would never back a tax increase proposal on the same ballot that listed their names.

Ayala also wonders about other motivations: "It seemed like they were trying to develop a legacy issue in a very short manner, when legacies take time to develop."

Nevertheless, Ayala stayed on: "I wanted to be a part of the effort to try to steer it in the best possible way."

While the effort had strong partners, including Children at Risk and Collaborative for Children, Ayala said too much time was spent on rabbit trails, things that seemed to complicate an already complicated endeavor, such as soliciting letters of support from local school districts that had other priorities. Too little time was spent on collaborating with commissioners, he said. In the days before the vote, Ayala said he found himself essentially sidelined after pushing back on some of Hidalgo's contentions.
"It just absolutely fell apart at the end," he said.

Although Thursday's proceedings started with a respectable press conference and procession of supporters speaking at the mic, the dialogue quickly soured as commissioners tried to have their say and Hidalgo kept interjecting loudly.

"When she started encouraging the kids to chant, and interrupting Ramsey, and then when I saw her reaching for the charts, it just seemed like things had gotten so far out of control," Ayala said.

I just read this and came to post about it.

That artical is brutal in dismantling her lack of leadership and the lead up to that disastrous court. Theres no waynshe runs again. Her own staff is turning against her.

She's toast. She's too toxic for the Dems right now and will be for awhile. She'll claim they hated the minority judge if she gets replaced by an old white woman. Even if she is gay.

And that article was written by Lisa Falkenberg. If Hidalgo has publicly lost a staffer that is willing to go on the record with Falkenberg on an article like that, Dora is already dead but still walking around only because she hasn't figured it out yet.

Its court again today and sherrif salary raises will be discussed. I'd expect some fireworks as Lina attempts to argue against them and for all her pet projects.

Setting the tone before court. Smart. Last time she didn't control the narrative and thats why the media didn't report the events (meltdown) correctly.

From that article.

Quote:

But what do we make of a leader who can't get a single colleague, including members of her own party, to vote for a concept he or she probably agrees with?

Decades of research shows that high-quality early education can be life-changing for kids, and a potential windfall for communities that earn back their investments by ultimately paying less for things like reading remediation and incarceration. Of course, "high quality" is the rub. For programs to succeed, they must be well-funded and carefully designed, a process that takes time, thoughtful collaboration and community involvement. Ask advocates in Travis County, who got it done in November.

It's not clear if Hidalgo understands this. In her interview with KPRC she seemed to suggest that any preschool program is a good one.
