Here are my notes for the Houston city council meeting on October 21, 2026. My favorite was Item 12, in which they approved money to renovate a fire station almost done being renovated because there was a fire inside of a truck inside of the station??

Here are my notes for the Houston city council meeting on October 14, 2026, including the property tax rate discussion and vote. The mayor called this "the most transparent" tax rate process ever.

What do y'all think CM Martinez meant when he kept saying "you can't fix unbroken." The syntax implies that the city's tax system is perfect and doesn't need improvement but that was not in line with his other comments.
Mayor Whitmire today: "It's amazing how successful we've been in comparison to other jurisdictions. But you don't hear much about it because we're doing it quietly. We really don't toot our own horn. We do not have a PR machine like other municipalities."
