休斯敦市长最后决胜负

美国第四大城之市长鹿死谁手将定於十二月九日揭晓，两位政坛老将都在做最后冲刺， 希望当上这座多元族裔之大城市之首长。

根据最新之民意测验，州参议员惠特迈仍然领先国会议员希拉积克逊李百分之七，上次之得票数是一万七千四百一十票对九万零九十三票， 惠特迈领先约百分之七 ，其他十四人都被丢在后面。

休斯敦是全美各族裔最多之大城市， 近年本全球各国之新移民也包括成千上万的加州人不断涌入， 同样也造成治安问题及公共设施之不足。 

新市长面对之重大问题自然是治安和经济问题， 其中亦包括如何处理流浪汉、 交通紊乱等问题。

我们寄望新的市领导， 一定要拿出勇气𣁽力 ，全面改组市政行政管理人员， 提高效率才是全市民之福。

Houston Mayoral Runoff Election Update-

The results of the Houston Mayoral election runoff will be announced on December 9th after the runoff is completed. Two political veterans will be competing in the race.

According to the latest poll, State Senator John Whitmire is 7 points ahead of Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, the same point spread as in the earlier election.

Houston is the largest city in the United States that is home to several ethnic groups. In recent years, large numbers of new immigrants from all over the world, as well as many newcomers from California, have moved to our city. 

Naturally, the major issues facing the new mayor will be public safety and economic issues.

We all hope that the new mayor will show courage and reorganize the city government in order to improve the efficiency of the city administration.
