The Consumer Blog chronicles how a Jeff Ehling investigation forced changes at the Harris County Toll Road Authority. Essentially drivers like you might have been overcharged:

The story began as a press release from the Thorne Group, a Public Relations firm hired by the red light camera company. The news release was sent at 6:02 p.m. on Monday night, a bizarre time to send a "positive" news release for any P.R. firm. Then, on Tuesday morning, no one from the firm answered the phone!

It’s not unusual for a full moon to appear red when it rises. But this Saturday when the moon slides above the horizon it will appear a deeper shade of red. The moon will be in the middle of an eclipse when it rises at 6:21 pm on March 3. The sun, Earth and moon will all be aligned with the moon in the shadow of the Earth.CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
