so the Mayor controls the Houston First Corporation ?
Easy Fix:
Call the George R. Brown Convention Center the Houston Autonomous Zone and rebrand the event the 2020 GOP Protest and Riot.
Go have it in Midland or somewhere consistently Republican.
So, we can conclude that the mayor is a (slimy, two-timing, zero morals, low IQ, marshmallow-major) Democrat?
Could have saved key strokes by just typing “Democrat”.
Just looked it up, and a bonus, wanna know what race Democrat?
So expected revenues should be deducted from any federal relief dollars Houston would get?
A Democrat cancelling a GOP convention ,yes take him to court and make him cry
A growing number of GOP Senators said they would not be attending.
Systemic big-city racism ...
These are they same people who will tally the mail in votes for the general election for the largest county in the state ...
I’m sure the hospitality industry in Houston is so grateful that they don’t have to sell rooms and dinners to those rascally republicans. I mean with all the bookings they have for the Rockets and Astros where would they put them?

Move it to Lubbock, or Abilene, or Tyler.
On the other hand, what idiot thought that having any sort of event in Houston was a good idea? Especially in July (or August).
And especially a supposedly conservative event, In Sheila Jackson Lee land.
On the one hand, I'm a local and would like to see a convention happen in Houston.
On the other hand, I do understand that holding the convention obligates people to have to work the facility, and they may not want to. That means concessions, operations, security, custodial, etc.
Many of those workers are private, but some are city workers. So, it's a tough call.

Laura Ingraham just had TX LT Gov Dan Patrick on, talking about this, and the leftist push to steamroll school openings, this fall.
Patrick said it was disgusting how Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner had weeks to cancel this convention, but, played total politics by canceling it at THE LAST MINUTE!
Turner never criticized the riots/protests that caused the spike in China Flu, yet he cancels the state GOP Convention.
Patrick said the convention WILL happen, whether in person or online.
This is where our delegates are chosen, for November convention.
Meanwhile at the protests....
Question: Delay convention a week or 2, Contract with a cruise ship and sail out to FREE waters!
