Reading Between The Lines

The title of this editorial made me laugh out loud: What's best for city, public lost in power politics (!?!)

For the mouthpiece of the Greater Houston Partnership to editorialize against power politics is really just kind of funny, as is the populist lament that normal people don't have much control over city council (gee -- could it be that the partnership pretty much decides what it wants done? hmmm).

Notice also how gingerly the editorial treats Tillman Fertitta, even though he's clearly the person who fouled up the works. Because Fertitta is one of Houston's Important People, and the Chron surely wouldn't want to blast him. Just a gentle rebuke from Houston's (mis)Leading Information Source.
