In 2015, Houstonians voted to extend the terms of the Mayor, City Controller & City Council to 4-year terms.

I'm staunchly opposed to term limits.

Unless anybody has been living under rocks, the 2019 campaign for Houston, TX Mayor just got kick-started..... Prominent Houston attorney Tony Buzbee has announced his candidacy for the Bayou City's top job. Buzbee was also the legal counsel for then-TX Governor (now US Energy Secretary) Rick Perry in 2014 after Perry was indicted on 2 felony counts. In 2009, Buzbee won the largest jury verdict against BP in history. He is a graduate of Texas A&M University: where he was a member of the Texas A&M University Corps of Cadets (where he served as Battalion Commander) & was named Distinguished Naval Graduate, Distinguished Student, Outstanding NROTC Senior & Outstanding Commander in the Corps of Cadets. Following graduating from TAMU, Buzbee served as Marine Corps infantry officer in the Persian Gulf & Somalia.

Any thoughts on Buzbee running for Houston Mayor & how do you think he'll do ?

Looks like the Ch. 13 Eyewitness News 10:00 PM Newscast has gotten a little lighter in the load.... After 5 years doing the 10:00 PM Newscast, Carson decided to cut back on her heavy schedule.... Now according to Mike McGuff of mikemcguff.com., he's been getting viewer emails & tips that Carson had left the 10:00 PM Newscast & found out Carson had posted this back in early September. However, you'll still get to see Carson on the 4:00 PM & 6:30 PM Newscasts though. http://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2018/11/why-ilona-carson-is-no-longer-on-10pm.html https://www.facebook.com/ABC13IlonaCarson/posts/19161403405088954 Thoughts on this move ?

Former Fox 26 KRIV-TV Houston Weather Meteorologist Lindsey Day, who has been doing things in the private sector, recently joined CW 39 KIAH-TV Morning Dose newscast. Thoughts on her return: http://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2018/11/lindsey-day-joins-cw-39-kiah-morning-dose.html?m=1

Look what happened to WI Governor Scott Walker (R) who lost reelection to 3-term WI Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Evers (D) in a close contest. Plus the WI Dems swept all of the down-ballot statewide offices.

Bold Prediction: Hidalgo will be a 1-termer in 2022 y'all watch. Plus she's way too young & looks like a little kid.

Looks like CBS 11 KHOU-TV Houston has an updated logo in case you've been living under a glacier.... Besides their new home at Avenida in Downtown, they also updated their logo as well. According to Mike McGuff of mikemcguff.com., it looks like CBS 11 is keeping up with the times as they're making recent changes to their Weekday Morning Show & other developments. Newscast Studio reported CBS 11 began using their new logo on Social Media. Interesting to see if the other TEGNA TV Stations across the United States have changed or updated their logos including graphics packages as well. How do y'all love the new updated logo & graphics package of CBS 11 KHOU-TV Houston ? A.) Love It B.) Hate It C.)
