A blogHOUSTON reader passed along the info earlier, and a phone call to the Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau confirmed the news: Jordy Tollett has returned from his temporary leave of absence, and is now back in charge of the bureau again, following unanimous approval from its board of directors.
Tollett had asked for the leave of absence back in July to attend to “problems in his life.” He recently led the annual “state of” the bureau luncheon, suggesting his return was imminent. The unanimous board action suggests that Mayor White hasn’t made much headway in his efforts to dislodge Tollett, following the KPRC-2 hit piece on Tollett that put this whole recent chain of events into motion.
UPDATE (08-25-2006): The Chronicle picks up the story today.
