• Council turnover

  
  Off the Kuff — Authority: 148

  Off the Kuff — Authority: 148
  In the runoff for HISD Trustee in District IX, incumbent Trustee Larry Marshall received the endorsement of the third and fourth-place finishers, George Davis and Michael Williams.

• Of honeymoons and polls

  
  Larvatus Prodeo — Authority: 523
