Planet Houston wakes up this morning to a new mayor, Annise Parker! Yay!! She should do a terrific job.
She takes over a city that is in pretty darn good shape thanks to a wonderful job done by outgoing mayor Bill White. Annise is no strange to Houston City Government having served 6 years on the City Council and 6 years as the City Comptroller.
She makes history as the first openly gay mayor of a major US city. Thankfully her orientation seemed not to matter to the citizen's of Planet Houston although her opponent did try to make it one as a last ditch effort to revive his campaign. In the end though, the voters looked at the candidates and based their vote on how they would best serve the city.
Yay Annise, Yay Houston Voters, Yay Houston!!!!!!!
Now it is on to the next battle....can Mayor White slay the evil dragon, Rick Perry and put Texas back on the right track? I sooooo hope so.
