Da' Mayor Puts Politics on Hold
At a time when federal and Lousiana state officials are engaged in a frenzied (and revolting) effort to saddle the other guy with the blame for government's disastrous lack of response to Hurricane Katrina, Houston Mayor Bill White is sticking to the city's daunting task at hand -- absorbing thousands of Katrina evacuees into our community.
Despite the fact that City of Houston election day is only two months away, Mayor Bill has cancelled his campaign kick-off scheduled for tomorrow -- Thursday, September 8th -- to focus exclusively on dealing with these pressing duties.
The deadline to file for city races is 5:00 p.m. this afternoon, and the Mayor is not expected to face any serious opposition. We applaud his dedication to doing this enormous job right, and the leadership he has shown during this extraordinary time.
