KAZ’S KORNER For most folks today is March 14 and just another day—one day before the Ides of March and three days before St. Patrick’s Day.

It was all still a bit unclear at press time Tuesday night. The county Democratic Party, after getting conflicting opinions from the Secretary of State and the state Democratic Party, says Donald Brown can be on the Nov. 6 ballot if he makes his $750 filing fee payment by noon Thursday, when Texas Democratic leaders meet online to canvass the votes of the March 6 primary....
REPUBLICAN PRIMARY UPSETS APPLE CART We predicted 8,000 or less votes in the Republican Primary, there were 7,895 cast.
