Where in Texas is Mayor White? (cont'd)
The Chronicle's Bradley Olson reports today that Senate Candidate Bill White's travel schedule has been cutting into the time Mayor Bill White can devote to issues in the City of Houston:
White acknowledged in an interview that he is working about 30 percent to 40 percent less in his mayoral capacity, and that much of the time he is spending on Houston issues has been between stops on the campaign trail as he travels from Marfa to Longview raising his statewide profile.
“We have built a very effective organization, and so every year that has gone by since I've been mayor, I've been able to delegate more and more effectively to people who know the style, the values and in particular, the fiscal discipline that we expect,” he said.
Not to worry, though -- several department heads say "they have not noticed any drop-off in workload as the mayor has become more heavily involved in his campaign," according to Olson, who editorializes in his lede about the mayor's notoriety for "painstaking detail."
