The Chronicle‘s Robert Crowe examines the District C Council race. Here’s an excerpt:
In the race for City Council District C, the two challengers to incumbent Anne Clutterbuck say the city must do more to regulate developers, plan for urban density and invest in neighborhoods.
“Special interests and developers are in the front of the line at City Hall at the expense of citizens,” said Robert Glaser, a Southampton Democrat who owns an engineering company.
“Houston is the living embodiment of capitalism with all the destruction that goes with it,” said Alfred Molison, a Social Security Administration employee who co-chairs the Harris County Green Party. “I want something that is also more sustainable.”
Clutterbuck, a full-time councilwoman with a law degree, said she has served her diverse constituents well by implementing crime-fighting strategies and working on ordinances to regulate development and industry.
“There is more to be done on these issues, so I am running for re-election,” said Clutterbuck, 46, a Southampton Republican.
Municipal elections are officially nonpartisan, but apparently the Chron reporter thought party affiliation important.
The Editorial LiveJournalists have endorsed Clutterbuck in District C (for what that’s worth).
