A collection of city leaders didn't agree with what Ned Lamont said about the city after his Final Four visit. But they still offered some southern hospitality in return.
Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo and Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner extended a return invite to Gov. Ned Lamont, who called the city "butt ugly."After returning home from his trip to watch UConn win the national title at NRG Stadium, Gov. Ned Lamont, D-Connecticut, took aim at our city's downtown.
Lamont's comments ripping downtown Houston made it to social media, and city leaders were quick to respond. Hidalgo then offered a standing invitation to the governor to return to Houston's "lovely downtown," complete with "fabulous restaurants, historic buildings and massive murals by international artists."
Lamont went on to say that the one redeeming quality about downtown Houston was the presence of thousands of UConn fans who packed our city to support the Huskies at the Final Four.Lamont repeated his distaste for Houston again on another radio program, calling the downtown area "kind of godforsaken."
