Delay Discovers His District
It has been interesting over the last few weeks to watch U.S. House Majority Leader Tom Delay's attempted self-reinvention as a Tip O'Neill-style Member of Congress -- this inside the Beltway, partisan attack dog has suddenly decided "all politics is local."
Today's Chron editorial compliments his recent cooperation with Houston Mayor Bill White to resolve the ongoing problem of rail cars blocking intersections (often near schools and dangerous to children) on the City's east side.
Houtopia applauds the efforts of all involved to resolve this issue -- including Channel 2 News' in-depth efforts to document and shine a light on the problem. We just wonder why it's taken Mr. Delay so long to give his home area the time of day?
So many years of putting party over the people, attacking Bill Clinton instead of solving problems, and blocking badly needed transportation dollars for Houston, cannot be undone by his work on a laudable, but small-scale issue. Brother Tom, where have you been all these years?
