Mayor White's not mayor of the Greater Houston area
Today's Chronicle carries a story about other local mayors' irritation with Mayor White's call for voluntary benzene emissions reductions from area chemical plants:
The mayors of LaPorte, Baytown, Pasadena and Deer Park say White has no business invading their turf and feel snubbed because they weren't consulted prior to the plan's unveiling three weeks ago.
"Mayor White is over Houston," LaPorte Mayor Alton Porter said. "He's not the mayor over all Harris County."
Yes, it does seem he forgets that on occasion. I'd suggest that he should've been appointed Harris County judge, but the job holds little real power, and we all know Mayor White has much bigger aspirations.
Another example of an issue Mayor White is involved with that affects more than just Houstonians would be Metro's mighty expensive "Solutions" plan -- the new and improved one Mayor White helped create -- for which people all over Harris County get to pay.
