damn i get the feeling that we all think brown sucked as mayor. hate to see what would be said about him as police chief or drug czar.

I am sure there were others before Welch that were bad, and there have been several since that were/are poor, but Welch was really "special".   You also have to keep in mind that while Welch was in office, the HC Sheriff's office answered to no one.

Louie "We should just shoot the queers" Welch.

Yeah, nice guy. The phrase that ushered in the Whitmire years.

Let's not forget Hofheinz....

Wasn't Louie the mayor during good ole Herman Short's tenure?

Police Chief Herman Short never met a black person he couldn't hate..

did hofheinz or welch leave houston in as bad of financial shape or first responders moral as brown has? i remember the low moral among the police back when whitmire was in office. i do believe it was ever worse when brown was in. i honestly believe the only reason lanier back brown was that brown is a dem.

I think Welch was worse, financially than Hofheinz. Hofheinz was a money guy, but, not necessarily practical. He was a one term wonder
