Hidalgo, Turner lambast Abbott for lifting mask order

Hidalgo, Turner lambast Abbott for lifting mask order FacebookTwitterEmail Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo and Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner had words for Gov. Greg Abbott.Melissa Phillip, Houston Chronicle / Staff photographer Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner also blasted Abbott for the decision, saying the governor was trying to appeal to his base by recalling the mandate and allowing businesses to open at 100 percent capacity. Both decisions take effect March 10. Maybe he s trying to appeal to a group that will find favor with saying take the mask down, Turner said. But what about the rest of us? He went on to say he will fight to mandate masks where he can, including in city venues and buildings like libraries and stadiums.

As Texans went without heat, light or water, some companies scored a big payday

As Texans went without heat, light or water, some companies scored a big payday Will Englund, Neena Satija © Justin Sullivan/Getty Images Texas flags fly near an electrical substation in Houston. Millions of Texans lost their power when a winter storm hit the state and knocked out unprepared power plants. As millions of Texans went days without heat, light or water, as store shelves were emptied, as deaths blamed on the cold began to add up, Texas’ frenzied and deregulated electricity market opened the door for some companies to reap windfalls that may mount into the billions of dollars. The nation’s most deregulated energy economy was supposed to be a win for consumers and for energy companies nimble enough to do business in a bustling, cacophonous market. But the cold snap rare but by no means unprecedented shattered it last week, plunging consumers into misery and leaving a badly prepared and dislocated energy sector in pieces.
