Who cares if the city's broke so long as there's a Bill White boondoggle to approve?
THE CHRON'S BRADLEY OLSON reports on Mayor Bill White's latest boondoggle: a $600,000 payoff to developers to build 10 single-family homes as part of the "Houston Hope" program. The story has slightly more balance than the Chron's more typical cheerleading/reporting on such urban boondoggles, so that's an improvement we suppose.
UPDATE: Cory Crow astutely points out that the same Mayor Bill White who is promoting this spending boondoggle recently warned the current mayoral candidates about the dangers of spending. Or maybe that was Senate Candidate White trying to sound good for rural Texas folks. It's so hard to keep straight!
