社評 1104 市長之業績成就大會

我看天下大小事  市長之業績成就大會

週三中午在休斯敦希爾頓大酒店迎來了近一千五百賓客， 聆聽市長今年度之業績簡報， 報告他一年來在市政工作上之成就。

過去二年多來之疫情雖然影響了休市之經濟， 但是過去六個月當疫情漸緩時， 各種経済指標立即回昇，並且大部份已回到疫情前之榮景。

特納市長己経任市長近七年之久， 因任期限制， 他的任期將於明年底屆滿， 共有二任八年之久， 在其任內曾經遭受嚴重風災及疫情， 他都能克服艱難， 勇往直前。

這位出生在休斯敦貧民窟経過多年之奮鬥， 並進入哈佛大學得到法學位， 曾經在德州州議會近三十年， 最後終於取得市長寶座 ，成為政壇上之佳話。

治理一個大城市是件千頭萬緒之繁重工作， 除了要有治理才能之外， 更要有好的體力去應付挑戰。

休斯敦近年來有許多居民遷入， 而且是一個多族裔之大城， 比較上說 ，我們是一個充滿活力和夢想的地方。

Nearly 1,500 guests and city officials got together at the Hilton Americas-Houston hotel Wednesday to celebrate Houston’s State Of The City 2022 message. Mayor Sylvester Turner gave remarks about his accomplishments over the past few years.

Although the pandemic in the past two years has affected our economy, even after the epidemic slowdown, we have had an immediate recovery and have returned to the pre-epidemic level.

Mayor Turner has been our mayor for nearly seven years. Due to term limitations, his term will expire at the end of next year. During his tenure, we have suffered severe storms and epidemics. He has helped us overcome these difficulties and moved us forward bravely.

Turner was born into a poor family and struggled for many years, and finally got his law degree from Harvard University. He served many years in the Texas House and Senate and finally became the Mayor of Houston.

Today many newcomers have moved to our city. We are the city with the most diverse ethnic groups. We are the city that is full of vitality and dreams.
