My favorite pieces from my @TheTexanNews colleagues this year include:
Any of Kim Roberts' coverage on nursing homes during this epidemic was a must read, but this one especially. https://thetexan.news/keeping-the-elderly-in-nursing-homes-amid-coronavirus-concerns-may-bring-other-health-risks/

Even though he's only been with us a few months, this by @IsaiahMitch_tx is thoroughly researched and importantly presented...plus, CHARTS! https://thetexan.news/texas-public-colleges-set-aside-over-45-million-for-diversity-measures-last-year/
. @HaydenJSparks is a young lad, but grabbed the fraud beat by the horns. This by him is just wild. https://thetexan.news/houston-man-allegedly-spent-federal-ppp-funds-on-lamborghini-strip-clubs/
And @HaydenJSparks's piece on what the largest ISD bond in TX history would fund... https://thetexan.news/3-7-billion-dallas-isd-bond-proposal-includes-funding-for-art-facility-stadiums-as-economy-struggles/
And all of @hollyshansen's Harris County coverage is commendable, but especially on the jail bond issue. If you live anywhere near Houston, she's a must read. https://thetexan.news/harris-county-loses-track-of-murder-suspect-now-person-of-interest-in-shooting-of-witness/
And for @DanielJFriend, my brotha' from anotha' motha', as it were, I couldn't narrow it to just one. So here's a few.
He produces the best strict analysis of data I've seen. Here's one example: https://thetexan.news/five-trends-in-coronavirus-data-indicate-texas-is-in-strong-shape/

More data analysis, his Texas Partisan Index ratings blew away all polling this year. https://thetexan.news/texas-partisan-index-rating-house-districts-from-most-republican-to-most-democratic/
And Daniel might write for both a hobby and vocation, but his passion is punnery. This piece, to put it bluntly, is stuffed to every ounce with them. High art, indeed. https://thetexan.news/texas-lawmakers-have-high-hopes-for-marijuana-legislation/
And without @McKenzLTaylor marking up our pieces like an elementary school math teacher grading times tables, I'd have errantly capitalized "governor" for the thousandth time.
Thanks to all who subscribe to @TheTexanNews, allowing us to do what we do for a living and for welcoming this damn Yankee into your wonderful state.
