This is the mayor who said he would listen to council members ?

Maybe the council member was speaking for the people, for a change. This city “leadership” is abysmal. We’re fed up.

How was it centerpoints fault that workers were called in Monday morning during the hurricane?!?! When Ike struck my mom, a tier 1 public works employee was on call and had been stationed at her job the day before. Why couldn’t the same been done. Whitmire blamed everyone from saying they have a family, it was center point, it was the hurricane itself, when ultimately it was his lack of emergency preparedness that if not caused, definitely contributed to this unfortunate event

All necessary or critical personnel should’ve been in place before the storm hit. To call in or to allow someone to travel during a hurricane Especially at a time that it was so dark outside you couldn’t see the roads clearly due to the storm and other storm related matters is an extreme poor decision and gross incompetence by the authorities. I live on the north side of Houston, and it hit between four and 4:30 in the morning. And I know it’s dark at 4:30 in the morning. So it hit in the downtown area earlier than that time: extremely dark outside. The whole thing is so sad! 😢

Just great crisis management. Telling all Houstonians to stay off the roadways because of flooded highways and streets, debris and fallen 20-30 foot trees littering the roadways and landscape, live electrical wiring sending deadly sparks everywhere……but asking a city employee to somehow drive and navigate through all that chaos in order to get to work. Just great crisis management.

Now they want to tell a city councilman what his focus should be… really It’s about the safety of all Houstonians which includes city officials. I also had questions why was he called to duty during the worse timeframe of the storm. I work in healthcare as a Provider as for as the TMC we have ride out/ recovery in place. The hospital/ clinic officials adjusted timeframe for shift change & clinic start times. Also departments also decided to cancel clinics & reschedule cases. So he is absolutely correct mobilizing correctly for a nature disaster is so vital. Also those low area should have been block already anyway since we already know the flood areas in Houston at this point. I don’t think his intent was to cause more grief to the family.

You think so? Can you help me with your reasoning? I truly want to understand. The mayor has a habit of being defensive to anyone who offers constructive criticism. You can’t be thin skinned and should have some self reflection. The response from everyone (Houston officials, Centerpoint, Governor /Lt. Governor) for Beryl was abysmal. It needs to be better. Period.

Perhaps in future, extra police can be all together, before a storm, so that no one would have to drive in? This is all so truly, deeply awful. It sickens me that anyone is making political hay out of this.

When hurricane Ike hit in 2008 it took 2-3 weeks for 99% of the people who lost power to be back online. This time the elected officials were grandstanding and expecting 2-3 days for 99% to be back online. It was irresponsible to expect that and lead to incidents of line workers getting attacked or having guns pulled on them. I personally had to go a week on generator power but was prepared and feel gratitude toward the line workers than fixed the utility lines in my area. The battle cry of CenterPoint this that and the other is pathetic. Take some personal responsibility for your own safety and survival.

I told a associate of mine the same thing. It took 2-3 weeks before power was restored with Ike, but the ones crying are the ones that forgot this is par for the course in Houston. True Houstonians know how to play the game. Being prepared is step one.

Mr. mayor should know Houston’s hotspots for flooding and this is the mayor of the city who should have given a specific route to come in safely. And does something to reduce the flooding areas are so messy and making a bad example for as elected and elected officials you all must do better. People voted for you Mr. Whitmire please don’t make them regret it cause you’re doing too much and not enough and KNOW your FLOODING streets, roads, freeways ! 😮

Look I'm no advocate for Whitmire, but give the man a chance. He has to go through decades of lies, wasteful spending, and a lot of nepotism. This isn't on Whitmire, this is on all of the mayors before him. If council members aren't talking to him, it's because they have dirt on them, and are afraid of getting exposed.

From what I’m seeing, he likes to have press conferences and talk around, about, and to others, but doesn’t go to the actual people to have private conversations and resolve the issue with them (He’s started to make a habit out of this). That is passive aggressive and shows a lack of emotional regularity. He needs to do better and needs to take accountability.
