Mayor Parker Says Budget, Infrastructure, and New Police Chief Are Top Priorities

Posted on January 4, 2010 · A ceremonial inaguration will be held this morning for Houston's new mayor. Annise Parker officially took the oath of office over the weekend in a private ceremony. She chose to do it that way, because the mayor is required to take office by January 2nd.

KUHF's David Pitman visited with Mayor Parker while she was cleaning out her controller's office a few days ago, and she told David that her top priority will be to make sure the city can continue to provide essential services with less money to go around.
