Homies of the Week - City Council

This may be a first for the LSB but I'm giving a collective award this week. So the Homies of the Week goes to city council for doing the right thing with the Hispanic Cultural Center Committee. 

I think they should have the ability to elect their own chair. 

Bonus Homegirl of the Week goes to the city attorney for clarifying the nontroversy over the name and intent of the center.

Based on what has been reported in the Times, Bernie Sargent wants to make the cultural center some shrine to cowboys. That is appropriate for the history musue, but demonstrates the desire on his part to make the cultural center a bore-fest. 

We do enough over-hyping of cowboy culture in this town. At best it was s small span of time in our past. 

Plus there are plenty of other places nearby that can compete for the 10 adults who like to play dress up that do it much better than El Paso like Tombstone or Tucson.
