Doctor-Congresswoman-elect-for-a-few-weeks plans tax cuts!
Doctor-Councilwoman Shelley Sekula-Gibbs, who won the special election to serve out the last weeks of Tom DeLay's term but mounted an unsuccessful write-in campaign for the full term, told the Chronicle's Alexis Grant today that she will be resigning her Council seat and assuming the Texas CD-22 seat in Washington as soon as the results are certified:
As she prepares to head for Washington, D.C., for a two-month stint in Congress, Shelley Sekula-Gibbs said this morning that she plans to resign her Houston City Council seat as soon as Tuesday's special election is certified."I made a commitment to the voters of District 22," she said at the start of today's regular council meeting. "It would be really wrong of me to say I don't want that vote and that responsibility."

"It is a short job and people know that," Sekula-Gibbs said of her upcoming job.
She added that she still believes she can accomplish some improvements such as lowering taxes during that time.
Huh?
Basically, she's going to have time to let in the movers to take measurements in her office, so the new majority can move in. Maybe she'll use her franking privileges at least one time, to send out Christmas holiday cards to the district.
