Rearranging councilmember offices in the City Hall Annex
Via Matt Stiles at Chron.com's City Hall blog:
One of the perks of being Mayor Pro Tem, at least during recent administrations, is the spacious and private office suite on the second floor of the City Hall Annex, where council members and their staffs work.
Councilman Adrian Garcia, the new pro tem, is moving there this weekend. His new digs will have relatively spiffy furniture, and his staff will be separated from the open-cubicle maze that other council workers endure.
Garcia's move, however, means new Councilman James Rodriguez, who's been on the job less than a week, has to abandon the space once held by his predecessor, former District I Councilwoman (and pro tem) Carol Alvarado.
She kept the office, by the way, even after former Councilman Michael Berry served as pro tem for nearly two years after the bonus scandal.
How completely unsurprising that Carol Alvarado didn't move out of the spacious and private mayor pro tem office suite even when she was forced to give up the title. As her recent complaints about terms limits make clear, she STILL thinks she should be in that office, blessing Houstonians with her numerous talents, which include (but are not limited to) road work, garbage pick-up, park beautification, and airport construction.
