Lanier appointed to Port Authority
The Chronicle's Bill Murphy reports that Elyse Lanier has a new job:
Elyse Lanier, the city's former first lady and an unabashed booster of Houston, was appointed today as a commissioner on the Port Authority of Houston.
Lanier replaces Cheryl Thompson-Draper, who resigned last month after being accused of uttering a racial slur while on port business in Shanghai last year. Thompson-Draper has denied making the slur.
The Chronicle article does not list Lanier's qualifications for the job, although Harris County Commissioner Sylvia Garcia says that as Houston's first lady, Lanier met people from all over the world!
