  • Think and Act Locally: The 2026 Civic Challenge #476
    Jan 5 2026

    The Think and Act Locally newsletter serves as a community-focused guide for the Deer Park, La Porte, and Pasadena areas at the start of 2026. The primary mission is to encourage civic engagement, specifically urging residents to attend city council meetings to influence local decisions like the potential consolidation of La Porte and Shoreacres. Beyond politics, the source highlights economic growth, noting new business openings and chamber of commerce awards that foster regional prosperity. Educational achievements are celebrated through AP Scholar recognitions and updates on grants awarded to local colleges. The publication also functions as a community resource, providing a calendar of social events, restaurant spotlights, and various volunteer opportunities. Ultimately, the text promotes a philosophy of individual empowerment, suggesting that small, consistent actions in one’s own neighborhood lead to meaningful change.

  • Pasadena Texas City Council Meeting Deep Dive 2025.11.18 #475
    Nov 22 2025

    This text is a transcript of a Pasadena City Council meeting held on November 18, 2025, which opens with an invocation, the pledges, and Council Member reports on community initiatives like food drives and minor infrastructure completion. The proceedings include debate and votes on various ordinances and resolutions concerning contracts, budget, and amendments, with some disagreement over issues like cost of living increases and funding cuts. A significant portion of the meeting is dedicated to public comment, where citizens express gratitude but also strongly criticize the mayor and police department over alleged corruption, abuse of power, and specific, sensitive issues like past murders and police conduct. The meeting also features a detailed presentation by State Senator Carol Alvarado providing a legislative update on recently passed Texas bills regarding the state budget, criminal justice, public education, and property tax relief.
