Approached. Approved. logged out. <br /><br />5 minutes total. <br /><br />We need to be in better contact email wise with the clerks to help expedite things, but this is how the system should work.

I mean, King told them on day one they were all crooks and thieves and things were gonna change. This means the ADAs must come to work daily or else they'll steal from the county or convict innocent people. When this is the view that you take of your employees, it shows from day one until now you don't give a damn about the people entrusted to prosecute crimes in Harris County. And King was right: things did change. The place is a crap hole now and the turnover is so high that it's laughable.<br /><br />Kim Ogg is a strong opponent and the Democrats who tried to challenge her needed to run better elections and do more than they did. I stood behind any of those folks (except Lloyd Oliver), but most had no clue what they were doing. If the Republican loses this fall, there had better be a stronger, more knowledgeable, better staffed and funded, game-face-on candidate for 2024.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566778230970156239.post-89125778428410321372020-03-23T18:41:46.170-05:002020-03-23T18:41:46.170-05:00So what exactly is Hidalgo waiting on to issue a l...So what exactly is Hidalgo waiting on to issue a lockdown order?

While many think court management has the ability to close a building, and the DAs office acts like they have the authority to do so, closing a county building takes a higher authority.

They won't, because they are good soldiers. But of all the demoralizing things that administration has done, this is the worst. <br /><br />Why didn't the DA's office contact the courts? <br /><br />And, please, oh please, someone find an electable opponent for Ogg in 2024.
