Bay Area Houston

You have to love the Houston Chronicle. Or laugh.

According to the Houston Chronicle “Harris County Democrats vote overwhelmingly to admonish DA Kim Ogg”. That’s not exactly correct. Last night at a poorly attending Executive Committee meeting 129 out of over 500 precinct chairs approved a resolution to admonish District Attorney Kim Ogg. I wouldn’t call that “overwhelmingly”. 61 voted against the resolution. Hundreds voted to stay home and do something more important.

In the end the far lefties got what they wanted after months of debating. And in the end it won’t amount to a hill of beans. Ogg probably won’t win the Democratic primary. She has pissed off too many people but passing a resolution is just going to get you a picture in the paper with a bad haircut. That’s it. Instead of putting the time and effort into important matters such as raising money or helping elect Democrats to office they passed a worthless resolution. And oh by the way 2 of our great candidates for City Council lost.

Besides the embellished title of the article the Chronicle also embellished the challengers fundraising. According to the article:

While the resolution does not limit her legal powers, it does put Ogg at odds with her own party as she heads into next year’s March primary. She is facing a challenge from Sean Teare, a former prosecutor who raised almost $750,000 in the first six months of the year – more than 10 times what Ogg raised during the same period.

$750,000…..well sort of. As I noted before, Sean raised $748,000 but that includes two major donations, one from Laura Turek for $100,000 and $500,000 from Scott Freeman. Without these donations he raised $148,317 still 3 times more than Ogg. Sean is a good candidate for the office. He served as a prosecutor with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office for 11 years, including 6 years as the Division Supervisor of the Office’s Vehicular Crimes Division. I like the guy. We should thank Ogg for her 8 years of service and move on.

Now that this issue is over maybe those who put this side show on would now go do their damn jobs. Here is an idea, go work on Sean’s campaign and quit the drama.
