Mayor Bill White has just announced that he is overriding the Fire Marshall and will allow more people into the Astrodome. At a 10am news conference, the Mayor also announced that he is commandeering the George R. Brown convention center for refugees, which will likely displace a number of upcoming conventions scheduled in the weeks ahead.
When asked whether this would open up the city to lawsuits, the mayor replied "let them sue."
Kudos to Mayor White for putting humanity first.
Sorry no links yet. Just announced on the radio.
