HL&P seeks injunction after Houston council blocks rate increase
Houston Lighting and Power plans to seek a state district court injunction after the City Council rejected a proposed 6 percent rate rise under the franchise. HL&P general counsel William R. Brown contends the council unlawfully interfered with giving the company a fair return. City Attorney Day says a modest increase would aid the city's position if suit proceeds.

Police narc wants back Bessent seeks reinstate hearing
A former supervisor of the state police narcotics unit in Dallas asks the State Public Safety Commission to hear testimony from 14 more witnesses as he fights reinstatement. The three member panel met in private to hear the appeal by Captain Bill Bessent, who was moved to DPS headquarters in Austin and later dismissed. The DPS has refused to detail charges, though the director says a report by Bessent contributed to the dismissal. The Dallas Morning News cited unnamed sources alleging the report covered a gunpoint money take in a Dallas drug case. Only five of 12 officers called testified Tuesday. Bessent plans to call seven more, in addition to seven who did not testify.
