Lawsuit: Amarillo City Officials Pushing Homeless into Potentially Unsafe Shelters

• An Amarillo homeless advocate has filed a lawsuit against the city, alleging that officials are unlawfully forcing homeless people into shelters against their will.
   
• It’s the latest development in an escalating feud between city officials and advocates who oversee a private campground for homeless people.
   
• “Nobody should be compelled to go into a dangerous environment,” local advocate and filer of the suit Rusty Donelson told the Observer. “We wouldn’t want that for anybody.”

Beto Testing

• Can Beto O’Rourke’s seat-of-the-pants, DIY, break-the-rules campaign succeed against Ted Cruz?
   
• From the October 2017 story: "O’Rourke is holding up a romantic ideal of campaigning. The politics of the moment is degrading and alienating. But here comes Beto, hitting the road with his friends, holding parties around the state, sidelining the usual consultants and strategists, de-emphasizing fundraising, saying only what he believes to be true in the moment. It’s how a lot of people would like politics to be. If it works, or even if O’Rourke is simply able to close the gap with Cruz, it would be one of the greatest political stories of the decade."
