Mayor: it's voodoo and fraud (but he's not talking about $AFEclear)
Ken Rodgriguez, of the San Antonio Express-News has written a column about Houston's Fattest City designation. Kevin already covered the Men's Fitness "findings" perfectly, but there is one amusing part in Rodriguez's column that caught my eye:
White defended his city on NBC's "Today" program, called a news conference and blasted the magazine's methodology.
Honest. He really did that.
While residents were screaming about their cars being towed under a new clear-the-clogged-freeways program, White was charging the magazine with "voodoo" and "fraud."
With a "fat city" to defend and a new, highly unpopular forced towing program to sell, I would guess the mayor's a bit pooped after this week. As you might have figured out, we think the mayor should drop this $AFEclear nonsense and help fund an expanded MAP. If this really is all about safety, then that's the way to go.
