People on the Move

Power players, new ventures, agency news, and more

That’s all there really is to say about the weather at this point as we wait to see just how bad the ice storm will be. No doubt the Metroplex will get the worst of it but there are some reports that some areas on the High Plains could be blanketed with up to 2 feet of snow. A couple of inches is more likely, though.

Driving in snow is one thing. Driving on black ice is another. When the authorities start to say things like “just stay off the roads,” please do that. Some campaign events may have to be canceled or postponed. That’s frustrating, I know, as early voting is approaching in the election of consequence in Texas. But everyone will suck it up and get right back to their work once things have thawed out, probably by midday Monday.

Because many of you might be iced in for a day or two, the Quorum Report Radio podcast is an extended edition this week to help pass the time. The links to subscribe are on the QR homepage. You can listen to that then binge watch your favorite TV show while you cook up a pot of Harold Cook’s chili. The recipe is in the Daily Buzz.

There’s also some significant career news to share with you as we roll on through January. People on the Move is the most efficient way to let Texas Capitol folks know what’s up with a new job, promotion, or all new business. Send the scoop anytime to ksbraddock@gmail.com and use POTM in the subject line. Thanks so much.

Here’s the latest edition of People on the Move.
