A Look into Hire Houston First
A concept and proposal that I find interesting and one touted by Annise Parker is called, “Hire Houston First.” I surmise that it caught my attention for its goal. The policy intends to “encourage the hiring of Houston residents for taxpayer-funded projects and give a preference to Houston firms seeking city contracts.”
The word one needs to pay attention to is “encourage” since this policy will not end up requiring that the City of Houston conduct business with companies that only hire Houston residents for taxpayer-funded projects.
