Mayor Bill White of Houston feels the cold steel of Tom DeLay

[johncoby2]

After being a guest speaker at a fundraiser for Tom DeLay and giving DeLay credit for solving a toxic rail disaster which he did not deserve, DeLay screws Mayor White and Houston by not securing federal funding for light rail.

"Houston has long struggled to obtain federal funding for its light rail system, the first 7 1/2 -mile piece of which opened last year. Metro paid for that initial $324 million segment on its own after U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Sugar Land, wrote a provision into law barring any federal grants because the transit authority had not obtained voter approval to build rail."
