Mandy Oaklander doesn’t include too many interviews with ardent red-light camera supporters in her cover story, but she does provide an engaging, from-the-top account of how the city got to its current situation: cameras turned off, lawsuits a-brewing. Tasty excerpt: “‘I agree with the Mayor,’ Feldman told city council in his low, measured voice. ‘We are in a Catch-22. No matter what we do, there is somebody out there who is going to sue us.’ Feldman cracked a rare, thin-lipped smile. ‘That’s why I became city attorney.’” [Houston Press] Photo: West U Examiner

I don’t understand Feldman’s quip “that’s why I became city attorney” in the context of his statement.
@ Mel, because as city attorney he’ll always have a job.
Ah. Well, he had a well paying job before he was city attorney.
