Travis County DA Race: Debate!
The two prosecutors facing off for Travis County DA met up for their only post-primary debate on the campus of UT last night. From what I can tell, it wasn't a snoozer. My colleague Melissa McGuire, who is on the night beat this week, included a lot of the barbs over public integrity in the video story here.
(If you were there, share your thoughts! I am scared of UT Parking and Transportation Services so I generally stay away from any events that require parking at UT.)
Here's the deal...
The sad truth for me is that local politics is much more important to follow yet it is so boring I can't follow any of it. I even watched the video twice. I know one is vapid, the other strident. I would vote for the strident blonde because she addressed something rather than nothing and the other lady only talked about how much she loved the state.
I won't remember their names and there wont be pictures on the ballot. HOW can I find out more?
Why don't local groups "help" local voters the way national groups "help" national party candidates. I mean even a "meet the candidates" website would be good!
I've had too much coffee today! Carry on!
