Thought it was odd yesterday, not to mention inappropriate, when I read yesterday that Averitt was the Go-person for arranging a meeting between the biggies who want to buy TXU and the Waco governmental and business community. Is that really what our elected officials are supposed to do, help broker deals?

But I had to laugh when I read the article describing the meeting, entitled "City Leaders Sunny on New TXU Power Plans"...as in, No One Knows What Goes On Behind Closed Doors

State Sen. Kip Averitt, R-McGregor, called the meeting in Waco between the investors and officials with the city of Waco, McLennan County and the Greater Waco Chamber of Commerce
