Working hard to eliminate transparency

April 5, 2016

I guess that I should not be surprised.

I wanted to see what our former city manager was up to so I went to the Borderplex Workforce Solutions web site.

Navigating to the screen that offers board meeting agendas, this is what I got:

That’s it.  No meetings were listed.  No links were offered to read about meetings.  Nothing.  Nada.

We deserve better

Details, details

Attention to detail is evidently a characteristic that has been abandoned at many levels of government.

Take a look at this slide from a TxDOT presentation made to city council:

March 21, 2016 was a Monday.

Is El Paso moving republican?

March 11, 2016

How many of the people who voted in the democrat primary the other day were really republicans who chose to vote as democrats?

In the race for sheriff 39,682 people voted in the democrat primary.  The republicans had 19,548 voters.  Were 10 thousand of the 39 thousand really republicans?

If so the numbers would have been 29,682 democrat voters and 29,548 republican voters.

Self importance

“The crowning imbecility of the Anglo-Saxon breed is its dumb belief in public office or an administrative position as the supreme honor for a man of intellect.”

Late to the show

February 29, 2016

Aren’t we lucky?

Our long time district attorney has stood on the sidelines while many of local politicos are convicted.

Now on the eve of an election where he has two opponents he has decided to ask a different agency to investigate some of the mess at the city.

Wow!  Talk about firm action to protect the citizens!

Note that his office is not talking about investigating.  He is asking someone else to do it.

We deserve better
