On this edition, we discuss: The city budget getting passed quickly and quietly; a lawsuit hopes to get two million STAAR tests thrown out; and a report indicating Houstonians apparently drink a lot more beer than Chicagoans.

This week's panel includes:

  • Mary Flood, blogger and Androvett legal consultant;
  • Tamara Tabo, who writes about the law and politics at AboveTheLaw.com;
  • Charles Kuffner, who writes the political blog Off the Kuff.
