Welcome to “Many People Are Saying” our weekly paid article where we feature rumors we’re hearing, inside gossip in the political world, and projects and pieces we’re working on that we haven’t published yet.

This is a bonus feature for our paid subs, so if you’re interested, please subscribe!

This week we’ve got a recording of a shady Hidalgo GOP County Executive Committee meeting, the Denton county GOP screws up again, and we’ve got a preview where a former race-baiting principal may have spoken more about his former employer than he should have.
