Mayor White wants world-class internet bubble

KHOU-11's Doug Miller reports on a last-minute campaign pledge by Mayor White:

Mayor Bill White stated Monday that if he wins re-election, one of the first things he'll do is push forward a plan to make the entire city of Houston Wi-Fi accessible.

He claimed that he would call for bids within the first three months of his next term and plans to place the necessary equipment atop utility poles throughout the city.

Having solved HPD's manpower shortage, the unfunded liability in the municipal employees' pension plan, graffiti, and potholes, Mayor White apparently feels free to move on to those sorts of quality-of-life matters that will surely make Houston world-class!

Oh, wait, those other basic problems aren't solved?

Never mind.
