The City of Houston tends to over regulate. Understandably, the city must regulate from time to time for health and safety reasons.
Even these interventions should be a limited, measured approach with broad substantive input from the citizens and businesses being impacted.

Today, businesses and citizens are strapped with too many taxes, fees, and permitting requirements.
Why is this so? Well, the answer can be found in one word – “spending.” Spending is the single part of the city’s financial equation that is almost exclusively controlled by the city. We try to do a number of wonderful things in our great city which are good.
