A Settlement is "Close at Hand"
Just as the local election cycle is beginning, there's a nasty little legal challenge that threatens to trip up the candidates before the finish line.
Former trustee David Tyson is suing the Richardson ISD to impose single member districts for election of its board of trustees. But there's good news on that front. The RISD filed a mediation report with the court that says "a mutually agreeable settlement was close at hand" after a recent court-ordered mediation session.

At issue was the Voting Rights Act lawsuit currently pending in this Court, as well as a Texas Open Meetings Act lawsuit currently pending in state court involving the same parties. Although settlement was not reached, Defendants believed that a mutually agreeable settlement was close at hand because Defendants agreed to what they thought were Plaintiff’s central demands.

Random Thoughts: State TV Network
Random Thoughts from December, 2018:
- Dec 1 2018: Headline: "President Trump is floating the idea of a state TV network for the US that would compete with CNN."
We already have a state TV network. It's called Fox News. - Dec 1 2018: The National Flood Insurance Program, which provides subsidized coverage for homes in flood-prone areas, is scheduled to expire December 8. I'm for flood insurance but premiums ought to be priced to risk. If risk is too expensive, so be it.
- Dec 2 2018: For some reason today, I'm thinking of the 1980s AIDS epidemic, Willie Horton race-tinged campaign ads, and pardons for Iran-Contra administration figures. Amazing how Trump's swamp can make one forget the bad from the past.
- Dec 3 2018: The NC election fraud is *not* in-person voter impersonation, which is what Abbott and the GOP is passing all the laws to restrict (which just also suppresses legal voting by the poor, minorities, etc.)
After the jump, more random thoughts.
