McCarthy apology signals near end of censure row
The piece notes a brittle Monday apology by McCarthy for blunt language in the Senate, arguing his phrases misnamed intent and that his remark calling Hendrickson a living miracle without brains or guts remains a revealing misstep. It also discusses ongoing Baytown La Porte tunnel support and Sylvan Beach project momentum led by the La Porte Chamber of Commerce, plus a note on Dallas editors and Navy bowl voting inside Baytown Sun.
