Chain of gratitude: a few days ago CM Evans-Shabbazz saw a resident in #DistC post that her family had #COVID after she likely got it at work, didn't have sick pay, couldn't work, and therefore couldn't pay bills, and had no access to food bc they were quarantined at home. 1/

These are voters who went to the polls without an acceptable form of photo ID/any supporting document and therefore voted "provisionally." Those voters have until six days after the election (5 PM today) to bring approved ID to the voter registrar.

TY so much @SylvesterTurner & my colleagues on CNL. Today's Outgoing CM Lunch was in turns very moving, funny & a little bittersweet. It has been the privilege of a lifetime to serve on Council and I am thrilled to pass on the torch to CM-Elect @AbbieKamin. Onward to 2020!

Mayor Turner visited a mural being painted in memory of 2 pedestrians killed at Shepherd & 10th. @EllenCohen1 provided the funding to @UPArtStudio1, whose artists create mini-murals on signal boxes. The artist, Jessica Padilla, has created around 7 mini-murals in #Houston.

Today marked the end of watch for one of #Houston's own. Many first responders, including his brothers and sisters of the @HoustonPolice Department, attended to the funeral and final police honors. Thank you for your service Sgt. Christopher Brewster and may you rest in peace.

"If you can't figure out why I'm pissed, shame on you" - @ArtAcevedo addresses critics in light of gun control comments made after Sgt. Chris Brewster's death. Chief says his officers are his family, "when they go down, I get pissed. A 32 year old man should not be dead." #KHOU11
