Just been mailed a glossy flyer for the @CityofMcAllen’s MXLAN festival. Flyer says Duncan Woods will top the bill at an international economic summit. But it should read Duncan Wood, my neighbor from Kent. There’s no “s” on the end of Wood. Will be great to see him again. https://t.co/amkb9uhGMq

As per the Progress Times, counsel to Mission CISD told school board members not to talk publicly about the demolition of nationally listed Roosevelt Auditorium. In other words don’t engage with their bosses, the voters, the taxpayers.

During McAllen Day at the Capitol, @McAllenEDC CEO Keith Patridge visited the offices of numerous lawmakers. Every office had at least 3 staff members from the RGV. “If we could bring them home, Austin would shut down,” Patridge said, at RGV State of Real Estate Forum. https://t.co/nf17I6cogy

Hope Monica De La Cruz makes a decision soon on whether she’ll appear at Pharr Chamber’s CD 15 candidate forum on Oct. 27. I’m supposed to co-moderate with UTRGV’s Veronica Gonzales. If she’s not going to show up there’s a good journalism conference in Austin I’d like to attend.

Pleased to report Reynosa Mayor Carlos Peña Ortiz is delivering on his campaign promise to fix the flooding. His drainage project on Mahuatlan in the colonia Marte R. Gómez is not finished yet but it’s already working. During the heavy rains last week our house did not flood! https://t.co/vObd6fMElz

Hidalgo County is a Democratic stronghold. Yesterday I had a knock on the door from a GOP campaign worker. He left literature for CD 15 candidate Monica de la Cruz. In the 6 years I have lived at my address in McAllen I have never had a visit from a Democratic campaign worker. https://t.co/DnAJ8nvKvO

Bumped into RGV GOP stalwart Hollis Rutledge today. He said he knows he will get flak from his Democratic friends in South Texas but he could not resist this quip: “After the November midterms the Donkey will have to be listed as an endangered species.” https://t.co/v9Jm47PcZo

One of the fans that keeps the Mexican visitors cool while they wait to cross the Hidalgo-Reynosa Bridge is not working. It would be great if you could fix it, McAllen Bridge Board. It’s 97 degrees this afternoon and summer’s coming. https://t.co/WZy56P6PfI

We’re hearing that @GovAbbott and Gov. Cabeza de Vaca have just about reached an agreement that Tamaulipas will inspect northbound trucks. News conference in Weslaco to announce the deal this afternoon. So DPS inspections in South Texas can stop.

TxDOT's Pharr District office would like to get Military Highway up to interstate standards. https://t.co/3pVfjm0KSF via @RioGGuardian

Huge shortage of workers in Santa Fe, NM. Couldn’t get breakfast because diner didn’t have a chef; restaurant only offering to go meals due to lack of wait staff; hotel room not cleaned due to lack of maids. Time to open the border.
