So Sly is Houston's Kip Holden? A democrat that's just focused on business development, managing the city's finances and not rocking the boat with anything crazy? I would kill for Kip Holden to come back and beat Broome's head over, especially if and when St. George passes.


Actually not a bad comparison. He has a lot of support from the business community and he finally got Houston’s finances back on track (hence the upgraded Moody ranking) for the first time this millennium. And you make a lot of enemies whenever you’re a government executive and get the finances on track.

Just a massive amount of uninformed and downright stupid takes on this thread. Sly would immediately be the best mayor (or governor for that matter) Louisiana has had in a while if we had him.

all he did was get his old buddies in the legislature to bail him out of the Firefighters pension and refinance the debt,, Moodys dont know shite

all a good rating from moodys means is there is room to raise taxes

Evolved to be okay with the mayor paying his side dick 95k a year? Rubbing it the taxpayers faces by lying about it? Guess I haven’t evolved thaaat far.

Where did I defend anything? I'm just laughing at the idiotic takes in this thread.

like how you described Turners politics?


Sylvester was the ranking democrat in the House when W was Gov. he cultivated a place at the table and cooperated with the GOP when there was no other choice,, he ran for mayor and was outed literally went back to the Leg and licked his wounds ( among others things, like male buttholes) ran for Mayor barely beat a moderate Republican in Bill King.. then restructured the pension debt,just kicking the can down the road ( yes an old Republican trick)

the reason the police union endorsed him has nothing to do with Turner being pro cop or tough on crime its simply to protect police jobs vs the firefighter raise that was voted by the voters in Prop B last year

pure politics for personal gain not a policy thing
