Who’s Your Mayor?
This billboard is proudly displayed on I-45 inside the loop… and it threw me for a loop when I first saw it as I thought Ray was trying to run for mayor of Houston.
Even though Houston has a large population of people displaced by the storms, I have to wonder if those who are here are the type of people who would vote on a normal basis.
Oh, I think he’d be a great mayor of Houston. He’s completely out of touch with reality, he makes incredible claims and has zero social skill. Sounds like a sure fire winner in Houston. </sarcasm>
So, you would base that last question on having met the vast majority of the tens of thousands of Orlenians living in Houston?
Houston had a spiraling crime and murder problem before last September. Every major urban area has its underclass.
However, the vast majority of the people evacuated to Houston were basically hard-working, tax-paying citizens like us.
Given the way the central government is handling things, they are going to be your new neighbors for quite a while, so I’d consider trying to get to know some, and not pigeon holing them into some preconceived notion.
Directions? I’d like to see this in person.

whoa.. i certainly need to see this billboard.. it sure does give me a double take…
the same billboard is running on 610 loop south between 288 and long drive (on my drive to work every day) — I did the same double take last week.
That sign pisses me off – incompetent in NO, but with the $ to advertise in Houston? OK, that applies to Brown and Atlanta, but Nagin is a racist, a bigot, and a certifiable lunatic, and the thought that he might be elected mayor of Houston is scary.

Apparently a private citizen funded the billboard – interesting… and they’re even up in Atlanta! Talk about confusing…
