Expect the unexpected in the world of Houston politics
IT'S FUNNY how things work out
“In September 1996, Houston restaurant king Tilman Fertitta, a
big-time contributor to the Clinton-Gore ticket, stood in the back
yard of his Memorial-area home and positively glowed as he hosted an
elaborate fund-raising event for the Democratic National Committee.The
guest of honor was none other than President Clinton, who was five
weeks away from winning re-election against Bob Dole. Land
Commissioner Garry Mauro, a Clinton confidant, praised Fertitta for
producing "the largest fund-raiser held in this election in a private
home."
“A year later, Clinton returned to the Fertitta digs for another
fund-raiser that netted $600,000 for the party”
“Fertitta said that he had supported the Bush-Quayle ticket in 1988.”

High-flying plans often break rules by THOM MARSHALL
“So if restaurateur-developer-entertainment mogul Tilman Fertitta
wants to slip in a tall tower and build a landing platform for his

Especially since Fertitta has agreed to let the city use the helipad
anytime it needs to fly a VIP downtown. Might even loan his
helicopter, too.”
