The profit motive is the best. The profit motive is the worst. Hear me out. It's a simple argument. And it's important.

POTD: Miltenberg Bicycle
From 2022 07 09 Miltenberg |
Today's photo-of-the-day is from Miltenberg, Germany. It shows a bicycle at the front door of a house. That is all. A moment of Zen in the sudden rush of an election campaign a world away.

Richardson's Next Mayor: Alan North???
Thursday, Richardson Mayor Paul Voelker announced he wouldn't seek re-election. That started a cascade of decisions by other candidates. Council member Bob Dubey (Place 1) announced he would run for Mayor. That will open his Place 1 seat. No one has yet announced interest in running for that seat.

Musical Chairs in Richardson Politics
As of yesterday morning, the City of Richardson had seven City Council members up for re-election, none with any opposition. Snooze. By nightfall, we had the mayor's seat open up and up to three individual seats that all just might see new occupants when the electoral game of musical chairs is over and done with.

Local elections in Texas will be held May 6. For me, that means City Council for the City of Richardson and Board of Trustees for the Richardson ISD. Like it or not, another election cycle is underway. Candidate information packets have been available for a week now. Applications for a place on the ballot can be filed as soon as January 18. So, who is likely to run?
