I see the new Mayor apparently has found a way to save Whites A** for the election.

$7.5 million

Heck, the snake oil concession alone would cover that in six months.

Prosperity Theology.

[Ptarmigan]

Houston is home to two of the largest church in the nation. Lakewood is the largest church in America. Second Baptist Church is the second largest church, but flip flops with Willow Creek Church in the Chicago area.

[Buckeye McFrog]

a 15,000 seat arena for less than $8 mil....what a deal!
(not quite as good as the Pontiac Silverdome for $600K, but not bad)

Selling Assets to pay annual bills is not a good sign of a prosperous city.

But then having the city compete in the real estate market isn’t good either.

[Between the Lines]

The city is allowed to sell city property without a bidding process? You can bet that if the city does end up selling the Summit to Lakewood it will be several years from now after much litigation because they lacked the foresight to open it up to public bidding.
