Mayoral candidate Annise Parker’s new “Houston first” proposal didn’t excite us much one way or the other, but we did enjoy a couple of grafs from Alan Bernstein’s Chronicle coverage:
To the extent allowed by law, city government jobs should go first to applicants who live in Houston, according to Parker’s proposal, and mayoral appointees to boards and commissions also should come from within city limits.
In past years the city has had police chiefs and lesser-known workers who lived outside the boundaries.
Now who in the world could he be talking about?
