Did Mayor White really rule out Gus Wortham redevelopment?
The Chronicle's Mike Snyder reports that Mayor White seemingly has backed away from plans to redevelop the Gus Wortham golf complex into a playpen for the Houston Dynamo:
Mayor Bill White on Tuesday all but ruled out use of the Gus Wortham Golf Course on Houston's East End as the site for a new soccer complex.
"I'm not going to support something over the strong objection of the council member from that district, period," White said after Councilwoman Carol Alvarado, who represents the East End, said the golf course is not the right place for the soccer facility.

Asked by Alvarado whether the Wortham golf course was "off the table" as a site for the soccer fields, White repeated his earlier statement that he would not support it over strong opposition from the community and the district council member.
Mayor White is usually more determined than this to have his way. Don't be surprised if he finds some way to bring Councilmember Alvarado on board with his plans.
