Mayor Watson brings political chops back to City Hall.

It's been a minute since my last column, during which Spencer Cronk got fired and City Council told the police union to pound sand and Greg Abbott gave a creepy State of the State speech from a TV studio in San Marcos, and other stuff besides.

Anyway, Watson became that one member after Winter Storm Mara, and after the police contract debacle Cronk was toast. I'm guessing this timeline means that one of the very first things Watson did after weathering the ice storm was call his old running buddy Jesús Garza, who has been retired from Seton for some time now, and line up his services as a trusted interim city managerbeginning the public, political performance of firing Cronk.
