Busy doing nothing
Wednesday, Mayor White and his Council approved a new Parking Authority Revenue Stream/Bureaucracy, thereby solving a pressing problem that nobody had noticed until Houston's technocratic/progressive mayor and possible aspirant for higher office bounded onto the local political scene.
As was to be expected, the Chronicle editorial board praised their man for his foresight today, in what was actually a pretty timely editorial turnaround for the idealists (we usually expect them to take a week to react to local news):
The Public Parking Commission should provide business owners and other stakeholders a valuable input into planning for parking in the city. Downtown residents and nighttime visitors will benefit from an upgraded, cheaper parking system and increased security provided by Rambo's newly trained corps of traffic enforcement officers.
Mayor White is swell! His new bureaucracy is swell! He's beating back "curbside chaos" (as the subheadline put it)!
Houstonians should keep in mind that Mayor White, his Council, and the city's only English-language daily all seem to be under the impression there are no major problems facing the city, and therefore the city's pressing non-problems must be addressed via new bureaucracies.
Here's hoping Mayor White and his accommodating Council will create even more bureaucracies that promise to get non-problems solved within five years!
