showdown is shaping up as voters in Farmers Branch, Highland Park, Irving,
and Plano are now set to decide next year whether to pull out of

transparency and inequitable distribution of funds.
While each
city cites specific reasons like low usage, crime and cleanliness – Plano’s been
leading the campaign.

Lobby hires, association news, appointments, and more
How is Thanksgiving
already next week?
So many of
you are already sending – or receiving – those magical “let’s circle back to
this next year” emails. But others are ramping up campaigns and getting ready for
the hard slog that comes after the filing period is over no matter what happens
with the rest of the redistricting legal maneuvering. All eyes on the Supreme
Court for that and we’ve got our antennae up for breaking news, of
course. But things will start to slow down in the coming weeks. It’s what inevitably
happens.
Meantime
there’s some career news to pass along this week that you won’t want to miss. And
because the end of the year is approaching, I did finally pull out the calendar
and figure out that the final two chances for you to
place an item in POTM before January would be December 12th and the
19th. No edition next week for sure. Dec 5th is up in the
air. Regardless, the bottom line is that if you need an item to appear in
Quorum Report before year’s end, send it to ksbraddock@gmail.com with POTM in the
subject line ASAP. Some of you also asked about the holiday schedule for Quorum
Report Radio – available on all podcast apps. We’ll have a show for you next
week but after that the remaining shows of the year will drop on Dec 8th
and Dec 15th. The links to subscribe to the show are on the QR
homepage.
Here’s the
latest edition of People on the Move.
