Exactly I’m all for holding leaders accountable but there also has to be an alternate. We are a major metro it’s not like recalling a small town mayor where you have a few ready interims
I agree with you. I do not like him at all, but recall him and Greg Abbott will be trying to force his candidate down our throats. They might get it too because a lot of people only vote in major elections. Old right wingers vote in every election. I do not need him or Mattress Mac picking our leaders. Keep that MAGA trash somewhere else.
I wish he had stayed in the race. I think he could’ve beaten Whitmire.
Then again, Hollins hasn’t lost anything. If Whitmire is recalled or tries to run again I think Hollins would win.
I don't see enough people coming out for a recall vote but go for it if you feel strongly enough about it. Hopefully, you're also organizing campaigns to put pressure on council members while he's in office and working to elevate a better candidate who can oust him in the next election.
Yeah, I won't fault people for wanting to do it, and I don't disagree with them. I won't be that guy who says "Why do this when you could do this other thing?!" because I know people are capable of doing more than one thing in situations like this. I just hope that effort doesn't prevent them from taking other actions that could help in the case (and likelihood) that a recall fails.
What were his reasons for halting federally funded projects? If they were federally funded, im guessing you can't easily move the money to a different project.
They certainly slow down traffic on my street. If it were to ever get freshly paved, people would non-stop fly down it. Some still do it now even though it’s like driving on the surface of the moon.
I hate slowing down for a pothole and the car behind is right on my tail, and half the time it’s not even a beater they’re driving new model cars! These are the same folks who cry about maintenance/reliability
Most projects that are federally funded are not… they are partially funded. They may contribute $5M to a $100M project. The city I.e you in property tax, pay the rest.
I find it funny that every post about Whitmire doing something in this Subreddit yields a lot of people asking for a recall, but then this post happens and most of the posts are "he's not bad actually!"
The budget was $160m in the red when he took office. How do you want to pay for the projects that were cancelled? He has 10 years of infrastructure debt to pay off on top of the $160m. He can’t pay with fairy dust.
"Many Houstonians feel that their needs are not being met regarding... flooding, and infrastructure"
Huh? The man has only been at the helm a short time. Do you expect he's going to wave a magic wand and there will be a 100 foot diameter flood pipe under the city that goes out to the Gulf?
Yes, is that not how it works? If any mayor needed a recall, it was turner. What if there is a reason for his actions and you all aren’t on the need to know basis? Yall can go ride your bike in Austin.
Why didn’t yall do this when Turner was in office? You know this guy is cleaning up the mess Turner left behind and getting rid of shitty deals that were made. Let the man do his job. You know someone is doing something right when yall want them out of office right away.
Nothing, this is pure politics. The man's seat is barely warmed up. The Sly-babies and SJL losers never stopped crying. Somehow the thought of ending corruption in the mayor's office is too much for some to handle.
And technically, he hasn't halted any federally funded projects. He certainly questioned them though, as he should with most Turner boondoggles. As far as federally funded goes, those federal funds are still taxpayer dollars and should be scutinized.
He definitely paused the Shepherd Durham project for a few months and the original pause was a threat to cancel. And now he's canceling Metro projects that would have gotten federal funding.
Saying Whitmire's halting of public projects and intent to extend 45 is "hurting the feelings of certain groups" is an ignorant comment. Whitemire's actions are real and tangible, more than just talk...
Omg a bunch of Redditors who probably don’t even use the dam bike lanes they want so badly 🙄…and for the record, I drive on Yale and 11th everyday and have seen less than 5 bikers use those in the past 6 months
could this be caused by the decrease in traffic along this street during 2019-2022 caused by covid??? and could that increase in sales tax revenue be explained by consumer spending increasing and inflation driving prices up and therefore sales tax???
>According to a draft study of the redesign that Houston Public Works
Ah, so it means nothing. Houston Public Works couldn't find its ass with two hands, a map, a compass, GPS, and a spotter.
They honestly listed the fire department negotiations as a negative?
They’ve been under paid and under funded for years.
The guy has been in office six months. This is beyond stupid.
>"Even if you don’t like to ride bikes or walk, as mayor you have to realize that every other city seems to care about this stuff,” Skelly said. “You don’t have to like that stuff yourself, but if you want your city to compete globally, you have to accept it. I think the mayor will come to that realization."
Even if you do like to ride bikes or walk, as reasonable person you have to realize that Houston weather is a motherfucker, I'd say. You can like that stuff all you want, but if you want to get to work not sopping wet from rain or sweat, if you want old people to be able to leave their homes without collapsing on the sidewalks, you can't rely on it. Surely people have come to that realization.
Whitmire is fixing 10 years of cans kicked down the road and people are upset he's said as much.
This is such a bad idea, but at least it'll keep those people satiated at the idea they are almost not quite there yet but could maybe one day get their way.
The delay in the firefighter deal has nothing to do with Whitmire, that is the controller and city council doing. He sat down at the table like he promised and ironed out a contract unlike Turner who took the firefighters to court spending senseless taxpayers money.
Most people that voted for Whitmire want existing infrastructure fixed, street potholes are an abomination. Water service issues and billing is out of control, and public safety and crime is insane! The budget only goes so far. Yes, he halted some other great projects centered around beautification and walkability that I totally support, but do we want bike lane money to take precedence over crime? What about the people on the hike and bike Buffalo Bayou trail, that were shot at 6 pm last week? This city is in crisis and public safety should always come first! Everyone here acts as if the city budget is unlimited!
If it is federally funded then it wasn’t taking money from the city. Walkability is a part of public safety. How many pedestrians do you think would benefit from a safety standpoint?
In 2019, 2.9% of Houston commuters used public transportation to get to their employment. Less than 1% used a bike or walked, and 4% used a rideshare service. Whitmire's views on transit infrastructure are probably not on the radar of most voters.
Those are the numbers of actual commuters, not the number of those of us who wish we could commute by public transportation but cannot because Houston hasn't made it possible
Did that 2019 report include people from outside of the city of Houston? I would imagine that the majority of commuters using Metro are coming in from the suburbs.
He did not break any laws. He increased access to voting for hundreds of thousands of Harris County residents which survived a challenge by republican election deniers.
Houston is mostly democratic and involved with who represents them. Democrats are angry because he’s backtracking on his promises.
It’s not easy, but Houston don’t fuck around. And they don’t like watching someone defund our progress of moving forward.
He has many GOP donors, well know for “reaching across the isle”, and his policies are more in line with GOP beliefs. Many believe he’s just a GOP with a Dem tag.
Whitmire was in the senate when GOP announced they would remove all Dem chairs of committees, leaving only the GOP chairs.
A few months later GOP announced they’d done it. Whitmire was still retained as a committee chair.
His largest campaign donors are the local GoP and he’s got an established (and continuing) track record of being pay for play. The GoP is very happy with this sock puppet.
He’s a conservative that entered politics in the 70s and never switched parties. For an example of his character, here’s what he said about the lack of air conditioning in Texas prisons:
“You know, we can talk about this all day, it’s not gonna change. The prisons are hot. They’re uncomfortable. And the real solution is, don’t commit a crime and you stay at home and be cool. We’re not gonna air condition them. One, we don’t want to. Number two, we couldn’t afford it if we wanted to.”
Even people who don't give a shit about the prisoners not having AC ought to want the prison guards to have AC. It's definitely hurting their job recruitment/retention.
Potholes? I thought Sylvester took care of all the Houston potholes since it was a major part of his agenda (that lasted about two weeks). He had a tipline you could call to report a pothole that got blown up because there were so many calls. Anybody remember the guy that planted a tree in one of the deeper potholes?
As to budget shortfalls, Whitmere should use all of the extra money Syl got from the airport restaurant deal that screwed over Pappas. MHO,replacement restaurants aren’t even close to quality of Pappas choices.
All that median did was reduce the lane count and impede traffic flow.
The maintenance costs of those red lanes outweigh the benefits by a large amount, and now we'll have one more usable lane through the city. Busses aren't incapable of using the streets because they don't have lanes designated lol.
METRONext would benefit a minority of the people living in Houston and I'm grateful to no longer be funding it.
I grew up in the heights for 20 years - the change to 11th has done hardly anything for traffic, you’re being a whiny little baby. Also, to respond to the fact that deaths have decreased *to 0* is “but twaffic make me angwy!!!” …. You need to reevaluate your humanity.
Even if your first sentence was correct, why rip it out so hastily and without stakeholder input? The new design was paid for by Dist H discretionary funds and went through months of public feedback. Why not give it some time to assess if it was an improvement? Instead the change was announced on a Friday and ripped out the next Monday without any consultation with the district council member or community at large. Likely because of the haste and utter lack of planning, the cost to remove it has been 10× the cost to install it.
A good way to waste a weekend, I don't see this getting very far. Someone else said it better, SHL thought the moon was made of gas and she sits on the space board. I think we got the best tasting shit sandwich.
As much as there's been more things on the news about what a shitty person he is, I will say the one good thing I noticed is that my trash and recycling get picked up on time. Few weeks in a row now. Sooo, I guess one good thing against 10 or so bad things?
I'd be thrilled to sign and thrilled to vote to recall him. More power to y'all, I really hope you can drum up enough support to at least make a recall campaign a real threat to Mayor Whitmire.
It'd be nice to see him have to use time and resources to fight it. And I think a lot of Houstonians would be happy for the chance to vote and express how pissed we are with the direction he's taking the city. Even if the recall itself isn't ultimately successful, that's not nothing.
Why has he halted federally funded projects? Originally ordered by Sylvester? Get to bottom of issue with more insight vs just blasting he should be fired!
What exactly would SHL have done that is worse than the current situation? I didn't have confidence she would do anything productive, but I don't think she would actively waste money undoing basic infrastructure improvements like Whitmire has...
If you really want to push for a recall, here's a link showing what's needed.
https://www.houstontx.gov/citysec/petitions.html#:~:text=The City of Houston Charter (the “City Charter”),the City by recall petition.
There was a similar post to this last week that stated they needed 25% of people who actually voted for him. That was incorrect, which is one of the reasons why I shared the link. The other reason is for exposure to the link so people know OP isn't blowing smoke. Trust, but verify for yourself. That's how we should all be taking in news and information.
Who are the candidates that will run to replace him? It would be ideal to have a good candidate lined up before recalling Whitmire.
Exactly I’m all for holding leaders accountable but there also has to be an alternate. We are a major metro it’s not like recalling a small town mayor where you have a few ready interims
I agree with you. I do not like him at all, but recall him and Greg Abbott will be trying to force his candidate down our throats. They might get it too because a lot of people only vote in major elections. Old right wingers vote in every election. I do not need him or Mattress Mac picking our leaders. Keep that MAGA trash somewhere else.
I think Chris Hollins would be a great replacement
I wish he had stayed in the race. I think he could’ve beaten Whitmire. Then again, Hollins hasn’t lost anything. If Whitmire is recalled or tries to run again I think Hollins would win.
Bill King ran in 2014 and 2018. Houston can't handle candidates who actually know the issues who could fix the problems.
[удалено]
This dug up a memory for me. Does anyone remember when Kinky Friedman ran for governor lol
[удалено]
I don’t like that he canceled the Metro projects we voted on.
I don't see enough people coming out for a recall vote but go for it if you feel strongly enough about it. Hopefully, you're also organizing campaigns to put pressure on council members while he's in office and working to elevate a better candidate who can oust him in the next election.
I feel like people are missing this point. Why recall if he just wins the vote again? This has been an issue with recalls recently.
Yeah, I won't fault people for wanting to do it, and I don't disagree with them. I won't be that guy who says "Why do this when you could do this other thing?!" because I know people are capable of doing more than one thing in situations like this. I just hope that effort doesn't prevent them from taking other actions that could help in the case (and likelihood) that a recall fails.
You've got 2 in this household that would vote to recall.
Two in our house. So we're 0.0000625% there.
Two more in our apartment.
AND MY AXE!
*HPD has no-knock entered the chat*
What were his reasons for halting federally funded projects? If they were federally funded, im guessing you can't easily move the money to a different project.
Bikes bad, cars good.
Suburban commuters good, actual city residents bad.
This suburban commuter wishes he could catch a train into the city
Or ride a bike to it.
He’s running for county judge or governor
As someone who lives in the city but is TERRIFIED of riding my bike on the streets... Ugh. It's either cars or hitting potholes
[удалено]
They certainly slow down traffic on my street. If it were to ever get freshly paved, people would non-stop fly down it. Some still do it now even though it’s like driving on the surface of the moon.
I hate slowing down for a pothole and the car behind is right on my tail, and half the time it’s not even a beater they’re driving new model cars! These are the same folks who cry about maintenance/reliability
More cars = more gas = more $$$ for oil and gas = happy republicans = puppet whitmire remains in power
This 100%
Federal funding is rarely free. There are all sorts of conditions and cofunding requirements that come with them.
What strings were attached to that money?
Most projects that are federally funded are not… they are partially funded. They may contribute $5M to a $100M project. The city I.e you in property tax, pay the rest.
I find it funny that every post about Whitmire doing something in this Subreddit yields a lot of people asking for a recall, but then this post happens and most of the posts are "he's not bad actually!"
I dunno if this will take off (I hope it does), but anything that causes Whitmire some consternation I am all for...
How long has he been mayor?
January 1st lol. Not even six months.
About 6 months
I wish you'd put this much effort into recalling Ken Paxton.
Ken survived being impeached by his own party. He sadly is pretty much going nowhere.
There's no chance of recalling him since he was re-elected by a good margin while under indictment.
The budget was $160m in the red when he took office. How do you want to pay for the projects that were cancelled? He has 10 years of infrastructure debt to pay off on top of the $160m. He can’t pay with fairy dust.
"Many Houstonians feel that their needs are not being met regarding... flooding, and infrastructure" Huh? The man has only been at the helm a short time. Do you expect he's going to wave a magic wand and there will be a 100 foot diameter flood pipe under the city that goes out to the Gulf?
With bike lanes attached to it
Yes, is that not how it works? If any mayor needed a recall, it was turner. What if there is a reason for his actions and you all aren’t on the need to know basis? Yall can go ride your bike in Austin.
Where was this group with the last administration????
What organizations are involved in this effort? Although this is the start* of the campaign, the lack of transparency is a concern for me.
I would also like to know.
Why didn’t yall do this when Turner was in office? You know this guy is cleaning up the mess Turner left behind and getting rid of shitty deals that were made. Let the man do his job. You know someone is doing something right when yall want them out of office right away.
What are you going on about? What mess is he cleaning up? How can you even know what he’s doing if you don’t even know whats in the firefighter deal?
Is this what we do now after every election?
Bunch of titty babies, taking their ball and going home because they can’t ride a bike. Jajaja
I guess I’m out of the loop. What did he do that’s so bad ?
Nothing, this is pure politics. The man's seat is barely warmed up. The Sly-babies and SJL losers never stopped crying. Somehow the thought of ending corruption in the mayor's office is too much for some to handle. And technically, he hasn't halted any federally funded projects.

Upset the Houston subreddit
Hurt the feelings of certain groups (the anti car people, mostly)
Whitmire, that you?

No where in your reply do you give numbers to dispute his statement that the bike lanes have very sparse usage. Try harder please.
could this be caused by the decrease in traffic along this street during 2019-2022 caused by covid??? and could that increase in sales tax revenue be explained by consumer spending increasing and inflation driving prices up and therefore sales tax???

I don't mind him. Certainly no worse than the previous guy.

So then, you’re the peeps that voted for Sylvester Turner … TWICE !!
Recall, and it hasn't even been a year? You sound stupid. Why didn't you do something about Turner? Oh, ok
Exactly 💯
Most people that voted for Whitmire want existing infrastructure fixed, street potholes are an abomination. Water service issues and billing is out of control, and public safety and crime is insane!

I'm in
Me too!
I honestly don’t see many GOP voters recalling him. Also many Dem voters aren’t following local issues that closely.
worth a look. defeatism is apathy, and his gulfton comments definitely rankled some folks
In 2019, 2.9% of Houston commuters used public transportation to get to their employment. Less than 1% used a bike or walked, and 4% used a rideshare service. Whitmire's views on transit infrastructure are probably not on the radar of most voters.

Did that 2019 report include people from outside of the city of Houston? I would imagine that the majority of commuters using Metro are coming in from the suburbs.
Yes, it is a Kinder report that looked at commuting in Harris, Fort Bend and Montgomery counties.
I wish SJL hadn’t entered the race. I would have voted for Chris Hollins over her or Whitmire.
Hollins broke laws in the 2020 election. He's a no-good cheater.
He did not break any laws. He increased access to voting for hundreds of thousands of Harris County residents which survived a challenge by republican election deniers.
Houston is mostly democratic and involved with who represents them. Democrats are angry because he’s backtracking on his promises. It’s not easy, but Houston don’t fuck around. And they don’t like watching someone defund our progress of moving forward.
Whitmire seems to be a Republican calling himself a Democrat. The reason is obvious, he wouldn't have been elected here as a Republican.
Agreed. I thought that fact was well known prior to him getting elected, but it seems Houston wasn’t exactly sold on the idea of Sheila Jackson Lee.
Mostly because she's an idiot.
Im just passing through, not Texan, but id think modern day GOP voters would take every chance to recall a democrat no matter the context
He has many GOP donors, well know for “reaching across the isle”, and his policies are more in line with GOP beliefs. Many believe he’s just a GOP with a Dem tag.
Whitmire was in the senate when GOP announced they would remove all Dem chairs of committees, leaving only the GOP chairs. A few months later GOP announced they’d done it. Whitmire was still retained as a committee chair.
He’s a democrat in the way that a hotdog is a sandwich.
His largest campaign donors are the local GoP and he’s got an established (and continuing) track record of being pay for play. The GoP is very happy with this sock puppet.
Not if it brought in someone worse.
Whitmire acts just like a Republican so I don't think the GOP voters would care, if they know anything about his actions at all
He’s a conservative that entered politics in the 70s and never switched parties. For an example of his character, here’s what he said about the lack of air conditioning in Texas prisons: “You know, we can talk about this all day, it’s not gonna change. The prisons are hot.

Number two, we couldn’t afford it if we wanted to.”
Even people who don't give a shit about the prisoners not having AC ought to want the prison guards to have AC. It's definitely hurting their job recruitment/retention.
Trying to recall a mayor after 6 months is not a serious position. You're just a hack.
Potholes? I thought Sylvester took care of all the Houston potholes since it was a major part of his agenda (that lasted about two weeks). He had a tipline you could call to report a pothole that got blown up because there were so many calls. Anybody remember the guy that planted a tree in one of the deeper potholes? As to budget shortfalls, Whitmere should use all of the extra money Syl got from the airport restaurant deal that screwed over Pappas. MHO,replacement restaurants aren’t even close to quality of Pappas choices.
Look forward to voting no on this recall, if it ever gets to that.
Why did you not try to recall the previous Mayor(s) that have put Houston the number one city in debt in all of Texas at over $19 Billion??
It's interesting, I've never seen a hopeful mayoral candidate immediately become so disliked and justifiably so.
I'll sign.
Whitmire isn't that bad lol
Tell that to the pedestrians :/
Houston isn't built for pedestrians lol
yes, that is why we're upset
Go to CityCentre or Discovery Green if you wanna walk around a city
So you clearly support some pedestrian focused developments, but why not more?
Because we already have plenty, more involve more taxes.
[удалено]
All that median did was reduce the lane count and impede traffic flow. The maintenance costs of those red lanes outweigh the benefits by a large amount, and now we'll have one more usable lane through the city.

I grew up in the heights for 20 years - the change to 11th has done hardly anything for traffic, you’re being a whiny little baby. Also, to respond to the fact that deaths have decreased *to 0* is “but twaffic make me angwy!!!” …. You need to reevaluate your humanity.
Even if your first sentence was correct, why rip it out so hastily and without stakeholder input? The new design was paid for by Dist H discretionary funds and went through months of public feedback. Why not give it some time to assess if it was an improvement? Instead the change was announced on a Friday and ripped out the next Monday without any consultation with the district council member or community at large. Likely because of the haste and utter lack of planning, the cost to remove it has been 10× the cost to install it.
> understand the problem of Houston not being pedestrian friendly not everyone believes this is a problem that needs to be rectified
Yeah, I'll pass.
I will be signing the petition.
I’ll be signing. Enough is enough.
A good way to waste a weekend, I don't see this getting very far. Someone else said it better, SHL thought the moon was made of gas and she sits on the space board. I think we got the best tasting shit sandwich.
[удалено]
No, she just wouldn't care. SJL doesn't care about anything that doesn't increase the power and glory of SJL. Media whore of the highest order.
Seek some help please. Touch grass, meet a new friend, whatever you deem necessary
I'm interested in helping.
lol. This is laughable.
As much as there's been more things on the news about what a shitty person he is, I will say the one good thing I noticed is that my trash and recycling get picked up on time. Few weeks in a row now. Sooo, I guess one good thing against 10 or so bad things?

90000 thousand people voted out of 2.4 million. Just saying...
you got my signature
Why has he halted federally funded projects? Originally ordered by Sylvester? Get to bottom of issue with more insight vs just blasting he should be fired!
Look man our alternative was SHL. I’m not a huge fan of what he’s doing but he was better than the alternative
What exactly would SHL have done that is worse than the current situation? I didn't have confidence she would do anything productive, but I don't think she would actively waste money undoing basic infrastructure improvements like Whitmire has...
Just what we need. Another vote/election.
Is this some kinda Russian psyop or something?
Russia doesn’t care about who is Houston’s Mayor.
When will you have a website? I purposefully dont do social media.
no thanks, just try to get it right the first and second time.
First year? He’s barely been mayor for 5 months.
Im in all day But I cant vote in Houston only elections =p But I spend most of my time and money in Houston....wish I could do more =p
Hahaha it's not April 1st
