The wait continues for the release of former Houston Mayor Bill White’s income tax returns, as it has now been eight days since White refused to release his taxes.
Hiding his tax returns was just one of White’s bad policy decisions revealed last week, which are highlighted in a new video, "Liberal Bill White's Best Week Ever," now available on the YouTube channel LiberalBillWhite (www.youtube.com/user/LiberalBillWhite ).
In addition to hiding his taxes, White also refused to rule out raising taxes if elected governor and was criticized by current Houston Mayor Annise Parker, who said, “For years now, we have spent more money than we have taken in. You can't spend more than you earn. It is a very unbusinesslike approach to running things.”

Video: “Bill White’s Chicago Way”
October 21, 2010
When liberal trial lawyer Bill White ran for Houston mayor in 2003, he was asked, “Which city in the world could best serve as a role model for a future Houston?”
Bill White answer? “Chicago.” [1]
The video “Bill White’s Chicago Way” is available at www.YouTube.com:
“Liberal Bill White’s admiration for the Chicago Way was evident when he steered a contract following Hurricane Rita to a company he had a financial relationship with, then profited from a private investment in the company,” said Texans for Rick Perry spokesman Mark Miner. “While Houston mayor, Bill White met with two other followers of the Chicago Way, then-Senator Barack Obama and his future chief of staff Rahm Emanuel.”
The Associated Press has reported, “Barack Obama, before he became president, leads a list of luminaries who met with White in Houston during his six years leading the nation's fourth largest city, according to mayoral calendar records provided to The Associated Press by Perry's campaign. Former President Bill Clinton, Vice President Joe Biden and former Democratic presidential candidates Bill Richardson, John Edwards and Wesley Clark also made the list. There is a phone call with Caroline Kennedy and a meeting with Illinois Rep. Rahm Emanuel, who later became White House chief of staff.” [2]
