I won't argue, but I'll point out the fact that many people here, like me, work in Houston but do not live there. So we were not allowed to vote in the election, although it effects us.

As it should be. Choose to live in the city limits if you want to have a say. Or keep your "sanctuary city" whining to yourself.

Would her opponent the community organizer have done any differently? This election was truly about the lesser of two evils. And the choice between these two evils could have been avoided if not for mayoral term limits. Bill White was no prize, but he looked like the second coming of Sam Houston compared to these two.

Has anyone else noticed Annise Parker kind of looks like Dorothy and Blanche from the Golden Girls morphed together?

You chose to live in the City of Pearland and not the City of Houston. Keep the "sanctuary city" comments out and to yourself.
