She better thank Beto and straight ticket balloting which idiot Republicans fought to keep for another election. Serves them right.
Wow didn't realize Judge Emmett was a god-like, storm and Hurricane annihilator. Hang on... he's not! In fact the worst storms we've ever had have been under his watch. Bad timing for him but I can tell you that he did very little to deal with disaster after disaster for his county brothers and sisters. Only thing he did was PR stunting, chasing screentime, etc..., during such disasters. Made sure to satisfy his ego but did nothing for flooding infrastructure. Good riddance to lifetime politicians.
No way. Republicans and Democrats almost universally respected Judge Emmett. You want someone with experience in this working, administrative job. Beto being elected would not have fundamentally changed anybody's life in Houston, but having an inexperienced county "judge" next time we have storms will directly affect people. I'm sure, however, that Judge Emmett will do everything he can to make sure the new person is successful. That's how he is. He's an across the aisle worker. Your nonchalance to this is disturbing and must show you don't really know how Harris County works.
This is my question. For Emmot's ramming through the Astrodome project against the will of the people of the city and the county, he has gotten what he deserved here. Now as far as the person who has replaced him, I have no idea.
Because last time we had storms under Emmett there was no direct impact to the people? Do you actually hear/read yourself? I'm an independent and loathe both Emmett who is a lifetime, smug, egocentric "politician" and SJL. Can't stand any of the smug lifetimer types regardless of party. You need to get a grip or move out of Harris county because storms 'aint gonna stop and Emmett did practically nothing to deal with the worse and worse storms when he had the chance. Never missed a live camera feed though, I give him that. As for me, I'm hopeful that the newbie with no bad habits brings a new energy & perspective; will actually try do something to deal with flooding from storms that will continue.
I am pro save the dome but like I've been saying, he's a hardheaded, smug, lifetimer, who ignores the people and does what HE wants. Got what he deserved imo and again that's coming from someone who is pro save the dome. Can't go against the people even if the people disagree with me.
Emmit was incredible in his Harvey relief response and action, that alone should be enough for him to win the next 10 elections...we'll see how good this youngster is when she's put in crisis.
One, good for her. Two, I liked Emmett (despite the aforementioned Astrodome stuff). I made two exceptions to my anti-Republican ballot -- a high school friend of mine, and him. If I'd thought about it for two seconds I might have realized he was at risk, but it completely surprised me that he lost. And third, I hate that we elect judges. Voters don't have any information to make any of those choices.
Met Emmitt this year after 4 years of trying to get him to come to our civic club meeting. He came to remind us he was running for re-election lol. Emmitt was ok but the Dome thing cost him. He spend more time of that ****ing POS than on flood projects. Time for new blood.
