First Mizanur Rahman Rahman and Alex Stuckey 🐘. Now John Tedesco. Three excellent investigative journalists who cared about their community gone from the Houston Landing. A serious loss for Houston Landing and — worse — the people of Houston. The Landing has very big shoes to fill.

Dean Sen. Z thanks her hometown crowd in Laredo, packed with so many VIPs including pretty much the entire Texas Supreme Court judiciary, at the dedication of the Dean Senator Judith Zaffirini Justice Center, the Webb County courthouse. First female head of the Texas Senate!
