Red Alert: Strayhorn Files for Mayor

Looks like we might need to recalibrate the Strayhorn Mayoral Declaration Alert System: Minutes after our previous dispatch, Harvey Kronberg's Quorum Report put up the following headline:

STRAYHORN DESIGNATES TREASURER; FILES PAPERWORK TO RUN FOR AUSTIN MAYOR

Former Council member Louise Epstein to serve as treasurer.

Alert status: Red, or severe risk of mayoral announcement.
