Has Mayor Turner ever done anything wrong in your opinion? Just a beacon of clean moderate honesty ehh?


Not the biggest fan of the guy TBH. His actions around the proposed mixed housing development in the galleria area were classic chicken shite Turner. Have always been on the opportunistic side. Though his dealing with the firefighters was surprising (in a good way) not so much.

All this happening whilst firefighters and police are understaffed and having paycuts.
The fact the airport actually created the position for him while there was a hiring freeze, which Turner implemented.

Yeah no one cares about that either . There's not a single person who was going to vote for the guy but now won't because of this. It's fine if you don't like the guy, but this isn't the reason why you don't.

Probably not many voters but who knows what difference this could make in a tight race. Paying your side piece with public money isn’t going to win you many friends for sure.

How do people think they can get away with this shite? There are paper/electronic trails everywhere now a days.

Dwight Boykins might be the stupidest elected official within 100 miles of Houston city hall.

In all honesty probably bc there’s not much to the story, and it’s probably not his “side piece.” The *real* story is probably more boring. Sly prob wanted to hire the dude and created a spot for him and now it seems weird.

But who knows. If he was dumb enough to do something *really* stupid then he deserves the fallout IMO.

Creating an “intern” position for someone paying nearly $100K and has the option to become permanent in two years goes well and above “created a spot for him.”

There were a lot better ways to sneak him onto the payroll that don’t obligate the city to pay that kind of money.

Like what? Go through the unnecessary and inefficient hiring process? That looks like something I would do if I just wanted to create a spot for someone.

If you elect someone named "Sly" and you're surprised by something like this. You should be allowed to vote.

Sidebar: This baw won a seat on the Houston Community College Board of Trustees by sending out fliers that he was black. The catch is he was white. Won anyway. That's how dumb people are. LINK

actually he never claimed to be AA,, he just sent out mailers with his name and place on the ballot and pics of AA's then had a quote from his Cousin "Ron" in Minnesota
Ron Wilson is also the name of a State Senator in the area

Dave also moved into an apartment in his warehouse do established residency and his wife brings him dinner there every night
