SD 17 Special Election Early Voting Locations Are Up.
Submitted by Hal on Wed, 11/26/2008.Well, not up at the county elections office website, anyway. Not yet anyway. But I got a call this evening advising me that the commissioners court was indeed apprised of the voting locations – my previous informer was misinformed by the elections office worker – and it actually appears on yesterday’s agenda, Item 30 on yesterday’s agenda.
An Evening With Democrats in Fort Bend
Submitted by Hal on Tue, 11/25/2008.Did you miss the November meeting of the Fort Bend Democrats? It was an easy thing to do.
First, it was impossible to get a meeting place reserved for our usual Saturday morning at 10 AM meeting.
Anywhere.
Second, the meeting was announced late and took place on a school night.
But that didn't keep away the impressive crowd that did come and fill the seats set out in the George Library downstairs meeting room. So that we had to get more chairs out.
That was a nice problem to have.

In a story buried in the Houston Chronicle on November 10th we find that Precinct 1 Commissioner-Elect Richard Morrison has a full plate of ethics reform to serve to the Fort Bend County Commissioners Court when he takes office in January.
The hors d’oeuvres to this 7 course meal are pasted below from Morrison’s website where you can also get a copy of the full resolution.
I. CONTRIBUTION LIMITS
- Starting with the 2010 election cycle, limit individual contributions to a County Jude or County Commissioner to $250.
- Limit PAC contributions to $500.
II. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
- Any gift in excess of $100 to a County Judge or County Commissioner (or immediate family members) from a party with business before the County will require that Judge or Commissioner to recuse themselves from ruling or voting on that issue.
Next Meeting!
