Jul. 23--TAMPA -- The Tampa Housing Authority board will welcome a new face Tuesday after Mayor Pam Iorio chose not to reappoint one of its most outspoken members.

The seven-member board is losing Gerald White, a one-term housing commissioner, who was known for asking questions and challenging housing officials. White was one of the few board members who would speak to reporters.

In his place, Iorio picked Lansing Scriven, a lawyer and former president of the Tampa Club.

Scriven, whose appointment was approved Thursday by the city council, declined comment Friday. He said he did not know whether he would attend Tuesday's housing board meeting. His term, which lasts four years, ends in 2011.

Iorio downplayed White's departure.

"Usually I do reappoint people, but not always," she said. "Sometimes I feel that a change is needed, but it's not necessarily a poor reflection at all."
