I put Lanier down with the likes of Kathy Whitmire as being two of Houston's scummiest and sleaziest mayors Houston saw during my lifetime. I'm not the least bit surprised that Bob Lanier would be all for turning Houston's skyline into one that even the Soviet slumlords would be jealous of since he is into real estate development like nobody's business.

This man should have been tarred & feathered and run out of town on a rail buggy long ago. He is shameless.

Bob Lanier ‘ran’ business redevelopment deals while running metro, the mayor’s office, and his puppet successors.

And the Chronicle is also part of the scam. Then again LBJ blackmailed the Chronicle to not be critical of his administration in exchange for permitting a bank merger to go through (he held the letter for “insurance”). It came to light in the 1990s when LBJ’s tapes were released.
