Judge Jim Arth

(Community Matters) Congratulations to our dear friend Jim Arth who’s been appointed Associate Judge by Travis County’s state district judges. Judge Arth will hear mostly family law cases (as well as some property tax suits)

A Year Without Politics

(Community Matters) This is gonna be a really strange year for us. Of all years to abstain from political involvement, I didn’t enter December imagining it might be 2012. This morning, I resigned from President Obama’s National Finance Committee and as co-chair of his LGBT Leadership Council.

As a result of my new position as board president & ceo for Marfa Public Radio and West Texas Public Radio (Midland/Odessa), I’ve agreed to refrain from political endorsements, fundraising and giving. Steven has agreed to abide by the rules as if our marriage was legally recognized.

I’m gonna do my best to refrain from partisan speak & even thought going forward – in my blog, on Facebook and in person. This may take some retraining.
