This must not stand! I don't follow Houston politics, but a first
guess is, they have political scandals and skeletons and don't want
their meetings covered by the unblinking, all-remembering eye of
public access.
When a cable franchise gets a huge territory, they are being handed a
monopoly and a license to print money, and it is NOT some kind of
punishment to make the cable vendor provide access channels and
facilities, rather it is the right of the people to have that channel,
and the responsibility of a steward of public bandwidth to provide it.
