Leading Off

1. Gov. Perry is upset that the EPA wants Texas to clean up its air, because we have a lot of polluters who generate a lot of money for our economy and these regulations could affect their profits. You’d think I’m summarizing this in a biased way, because it’s so ridiculous, but read the story, and his quotes, and, you know, not so much.

2. As much as I’ve mocked Southwest for its arrogant denial of wrongdoing in its current FAA squabble, I don’t think it’s going to hurt them any in terms of passenger loyalty or traffic.

3. The development of the city’s core continues, as the Design District will add apartments and retail within the next year.
