We’d like to give a big ole thanks to Zen T.C. Zheng over at the Houston Chronicle for giving everybody the heads-up that the back-up materials for our county commissioner’s court will now be posted online for everyone to see.

Back in the old days when I was a reporter, the boys on commissioner’s court used to sneak notes in my packet.  Some were funny – like the first time commissioners heard about xeroxing your beehind and couldn’t wait for me to see it – and some were hot tips.  The beehinds were not hot.  The tips generally were.

So now everybody can be a reporter simply by clicking here.  Yeah, they are having some technical difficulties right now but it’s a good link to hold on to.

Thanks, Zen, for the heads-up.  You might remind them that they get the packet ahead of time, so it’s no big deal to let you and the public see it ahead of time, too.
