Boss Ogg was closer to an old school Dem. Soros did help her get elected, but then some sanity hit her and she pushed back on some stuff, thus, Soros ensured she is now out of a job and we have a new DA who is happily letting criminals roam free.

Harris County Precinct 1 Commissioner Rodney Ellis, a fellow Democrat and political ally of Turner's, opened the ceremony by discussing the building's history and how that history exemplifies the changes Houston has undergone over the last three-quarters of a century. Ellis said the structure at 1010 Lamar St. used to serve as the Sackowitz building a high-end clothing store in the 1950s.
"This building has such a rich history opened, as I mentioned, in 1950," Ellis said. "Early on, until the mid-'60s, African Americans and Hispanics could buy clothes from Sackowitz, but you couldn't come in and try them on. ... So I was thinking, shortly after Sylvester passed, what would be the appropriate honor? This building just made sense. It's important."
The building will now be known as the Harris County Sylvester Turner Administration Building and will soon be the new offices of the county attorney's office, auditor's office and department of equity.

If the County Attorney's office is moving over there, I wonder what happens to Congress Plaza?

Hummm... just wondering what Houston Mayor Sly Turner did for Harris County to warrant a building being named after him because nothing comes to mind.

From her Twitter post:Literally no one has ever used that phrase before. This has got to be AI generated.
- "Not only could this morning's actions help improve the lives of Venezuelans, but on a numbers-and-cents basis, they could lead to better outcomes for our residents, our energy industry, and the nation."
