Heights2Bastrop Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 I think y'all are both wrong. My answer would be a resounding "NO!!!" Quote

texas911 Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 Unfortunately, Houston wasn't on his side and he screwed Houston. Quote

MidtownCoog Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 Mayor Brown is Dead.Or he must be, since Metro named their transit center afte him. Quote

Next time you ride, look just to the left of the driver's door. There are plaques dedicated to people like Shirley "I don't have a degree" Libero. Quote
DJ V Lawrence Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 There are plaques dedicated to people like Shirley "I don't have a degree" Libero.They named a rail car after the Metro Chairman?! WOW!!! Is that arrogance or what?! Imagine watching baseball at Drayton McClain Park...Bob Lanier did a good job as mayor. He used to emphasis more money and funds going to the police/emergency force and education. He also wasn't for Light Rail at that time period, which would make a LOT of anti-rail citizens here happy. And he didn't fall for Bud Adams' deal with a new stadium, and we're better off for it.Lastly, Lanier, Brown, and White have all finished their term-limits. All three must have had some strong supporters for that to happen. Quote
