Mayor Turner is to Blame for the Fiscal Cliff Houston is Facing Says Parker; Could Businessman Gilbert Garcia Be the Answer?


Former Houston Mayor Annise Parker blamed outgoing Mayor Sylvester Turner for the fiscal cliff the city of Houston is now facing. Based on the bleak picture that was painted by former Mayor Annise Parker, Houstonians must get to know the people who are seeking to succeed Mayor Sylvester Turner. As of today (Saturday, February 4, 2023), the top tier of serious contenders with a real shot to succeed Mayor Sylvester Turner, as Houston's next Mayor on Tuesday, November 7, 2023, includes state Senator John Whitmire, former Harris County Clerk Chris Hollins, and former At-Large Position #4 Houston Councilwoman Amanda Edwards. If businessman Gilbert Garcia enters the race, as expected, he would immediately bolt into one of the top two positions. And if Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee decides to run for Mayor of the City of Houston, the top tier would shuffle, and you could see several candidates drop out of the race. You can "CLICK HERE" to see her "EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW" with FOX 26 news reporter Greg Groogan, which aired a few days ago.


Mayor Sylvester Turner and other Black elected officials have far too often relied upon fiery speeches, dancing in the streets, and blaming Republicans as their primary way to win elections. This strategy worked well in the past, but it needs to be abandoned. Elected leaders like Mayor Sylvester Turner (and others before him) have left the Black community in worse shape than when they found it. If you ask me, the Black community is at a serious disadvantage (right now) when compared to other ethnic groups. That being said, the Black community must endeavor to place substance over symbolism, character over chatter, and search for candidates who can deliver results, not useless rhetoric, as they play on our emotions with watery eyes, as Mayor Sylvester Turner has become a master at doing over the years.

"IMPORTANT DATES."

Mayor Turner is to Blame for the Fiscal Cliff Houston is Facing Says Parker; Could Businessman Gilbert Garcia Be the Answer?

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

Saying that the city of Houston is in bad shape is an understatement. Why? Well, on top of the city of Houston heading toward a fiscal cliff, it’s also become a cesspool that must be drained. In my opinion, the last thing the city of Houston needs to do is elect someone for symbolic reasons.

In her interview with FOX 26, the city’s first openly-gay Mayor hinted at her disappointment with Mayor Sylvester Turner over the fact that he hasn’t re-introduced some version of the (HERO) Houston Equal Rights Ordinance, that she failed to get passed, back when she was Mayor.

All these years later, Mayor Parker still doesn’t get it. “I think there were expectations in his constituency, folks that help get him elected, that he would revisit the issue,” she said. However, what Mayor Parker doesn’t realize is that the LGBTQ+ community only makes up a small portion of Mayor Sylvester Turner’s constituency.

If my memory serves me right, African American females, were the huge driving force behind helping to defeat the “BATHROOM BILL” that could have allowed men, who claimed to be women, into the bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers with biological females.

While former Mayor Annise Parker tried to frame the “HERO ORDINANCE” as an attempt to establish nondiscrimination protections for gay and transgender people, others framed it as an attempt to allow people to self-identify themselves as a member of the opposite sex and gain access to a place they should be allowed, and potentially put the safety of women at risk.

And at the end of the day, Mayor Parker’s “HERO ORDINANCE” failed miserably at the polls by a wide margin. “I guarantee that justice in Houston will prevail; we will be back,” she said after the “HERO ORDINANCE” was soundly rejected by Houstonians who went to the polls to cast ballots, and make their voices heard.

Even though the “HERO ORDINANCE,” or the Houston Anti-Discrimination HERO Veto Referendum, Proposition #1, failed because 60.97% of the voters said NO, and only 39.05% of the voters said yes, back in 2015, this issue could resurface in the Tuesday, November 7, 2023, City of Houston Mayor Election. Remember, Mayor Annise Parker is resurfacing right now for a specific purpose.

“This ordinance you have not seen the last of,” she proclaimed back in 2015 when 157,110 voters said NO, and only 100,582, said YES. And a very large segment of Mayor Sylvester Turner’s constituency (African American women) vote NO and did not want to have biological males, inside public restrooms with them, and their babies.

Former Mayor Annise Parker is correct, a segment of Mayor Sylvester Turner’s constituency would have liked for him to re-introduce the “HERO ORDINANCE,” during his tenure, WHAT SHE DOESN’T seem to grasp is that an even greater portion of his constituency is against biological males being able to “SELF-IDENTIFY” themselves as a member of the opposite sex, and gain access to women’s bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers.

Now, when you step back and look at the current field of “2023 CITY OF HOUSTON MAYORAL CONTENDERS” it appears that Mayor Annise Parker is looking for someone who could re-introduce the “HERO ORDINANCE” and press the issue. But who would that be? Only time will tell – I guess.

“BACK TO THE MONEY.”

When you look at the current field of choices we could potentially have on the ballot, on Tuesday, November 7, 2022, Gilbert Garcia, the former chairman of (METRO) The Metropolitan Transit Authority (if he decides to run) could be the best shot we have at getting a new mayor in place who would be ready on day one to deal with the serious issues that lie ahead for the city of Houston.

Identity politics must be set aside this time around as Houstonians must elect a Mayor who understands numbers. Annice understood the numbers. In fact, I admired her ability to work with numbers. And nearly everyone I know had a hefty amount of respect for former Houston Mayor Annise Parker’s ability to make the numbers work.

A few days ago, she told, FOX 26 news reporter, Greg Groogan, in an “EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW” that city of Houston could have some serious financial issues looming. “Sylvester turner, and we need to give him credit, was able to shore up the pension systems.” But that’s just about the only praise she gave mayor Turner.

According to the former city of Houston Mayor Annisce Parker, mayor Sylvester Turner’s administration has used one-time money to plug budget holes for ongoing expenses. By doing so, the next Mayor will have some serious liabilities to deal with she explained.

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee is the U.S. Representative for the 18th Congressional District of Texas. According to several of my sources, the Honorable Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee could be contemplating entering the race for Mayor of Houston, Texas. If she enters the race, she would immediately bolt into one of the top two positions. Her name identification alone would give her a puncher's chance to overtake state Senator John Whitmire, former At-Large Councilwoman Amanda Edwards, and former Harris County Clerk Chris Hollins. That being said, the anticipation of a potential mayoral run by former METRO Chairman Gilbert Garcia, set in motion, the prospects of a potential showdown between "QUEEN SHEILA" eyeing the possibility of becoming the first African American woman to serve as mayor of Houston, against the backdrop of wealth businessman Gilbert Garcia seeking to make history for the Latino community by becoming the first Hispanic mayor of Houston, Texas. For the record, Election Day is set for Tuesday, November 7, 2023.

"IMPORTANT DATES."

The first day to file for a place on the ballot is Saturday, July 22, 2023, and the last day to file for a place on the ballot is Monday, August 21, 2023, before 5:00p.m. Once the ballot is set, "EARLY VOTING" for the upcoming Tuesday, November 7, 2023, the City of Houston Mayoral Election will begin on Monday, October 23, 2023, and end on Friday, November 3, 2023, in the Bayou City.
