- Numerous media outlets in Houston reported at the Harris County tax increase was 8%. However, documents from the county show that it is going to be 10% to 15% depending on your home’s valuation. More to come.

- This is a big deal. COVID ICU bed usage in Houston region below 15% for the first time since May.
- Texas is now dead last in the number of vaccines it has received on a per capita basis. Why is every elected official in this State not screaming their heads off about this?
