Vernon Coates claims sheriff deputies framed him for drunken driving in 2001 and seeks accountability. The county authorized a settlement around 120000 dollars, with officials saying the deal is an economic decision and not an admission of fault. Coates aims to stop further suits, while the fingerprint of the case remains controversial.

Baytown Council Extends Firefighters’ Contract Again
The Baytown City Council unanimously extended the firefighters contract for a fourth time to Jan 8 with reservations. Councilman Ronald Anderson urged scrutiny of taxpayer costs, noting about 60 000 spent since April on bargaining chiefly for attorney fees. The city hired Bettye Lynn of Fort Worth to lead talks and warned the latest offer could be final. If rejected, mediation or binding arbitration could follow as allowed by Texas law, since striking is prohibited.
