Shadowguv says: I disagree with one portion of the piece—the notion that Bill White has run a fiscally tight ship during his tenure. While the stated definition of ‘balanced budget’ might be technically correct, a review of the annual City of Houston finance reports reveals a differing view. The COH has run a spending deficit every single year since 2004 for an accumulated deficit of over $3.6 Billion. Debt has increased by about $3.0 Billion, with increases in property & sales taxes filling in the gap. This data can be sliced and diced to justify so called ‘balanced’ budgets but the facts remain, spending (and borrowing) soared under Bill White. [However] White did a great job as Mayor and will be very effective in the U.S. Senate or the Governor’s Office. (November 23rd, 2009 at 4:51pm)
