No one cared what was going on in Third Ward until the gentrification was in full swing.

Logical conclusion. Those with the sources to gentrify also have "time and financial resources" for walking dogs, shopping at whole foods and taking yoga classes 😂😂😂

That's because you people never cared for the 3rd Ward. That area was an absolute nightmare in the 80's. Yeah, it was blacks raising all the hell so grow up and put your big boy pants on and be realistic.

You don't catch corruption fast. You need to gather evidence. They trade money back and forth to try to cover their corruption up. Stop playing the victim, it looks very sad for you.
So how does someone not notice 10 million missing dollars?

The City of Houston has a budget of $6.7 Billion budget. So that's 0.149% of the entire Budget or $6.40 of $4,000 for you and I... Make sense now?
Sooo sick and tired of these evil corrupt hacks
Where are the checks and balances that should be in place when taxpayers’ money is used? The entire state needs to be investigated as this can’t be the first time this has happened. And the kicker is that it had been going on for YEARS!
Its a shame that the citizens are the ones that had to investigate this, otherwise nothing probably wouldn't have been done.
DOESN’T MATTER they will plead guilty & get ZERO prison time…..trust me watch. 🤔🤔🤔
I’m laughing so hard it’s hilarious, every one knows and now they’re being exposed, what took so long?

I was thinking the same exact thing. They exposed the faces of those who were part of the Houston waterline scandal... and when I went to read the comments of that video: nothing but racist remarks. But they're not showing the faces of "these people" and we all know what they are. Always trying to hide and cover up their dirt.

Amazing how this went undetected by the annual audit. I understand some municipalities are huge however the largest risk for fraud is mis appropriation of cash and property. Reviewing contracts, expenses and cash accounts is critical. Also related is how on earth could the Houston public school district just now get caught sending millions of dollars to Utah charter schools? This absolutely blows my mind and is illegal .

I have information, documentation and verification of similar activites in another municipality, in which it involves illegal water billing, improper use of disaster funds, grants and assistance for residence. Granting permits without credentials to contractors through possible kickbacks, causing great harm to those that are being scammed with the help of non complaining ,compliance officers that fail to notice the permit is dated incorrectly and all required licenses and insurance documents that are a prerequisite for a permit, magically disappeared along with the original blueprints as well as any history?? Wire fraud , mail fraud and honest services fraud. Please help. It is larger than this , especially when you find out the parties involved in this long going history of FRAUD AND CORRUPTION!
It doesn't look like they were paying attention

You see that bs. So the house valued over a million yet the city offer 150k to move it and the state 400k. Really. That's no deal at all. Those same people won't take that deal.

Sadly someone needs to look at money in all cities especially those affected by the ones with boost of growth. Increase of taxes but where is the money going.
The gentrifiers are mad because the money didn't go how they wanted. The people in the area don't even get police protection for years to help run them out so these very people can buy the area up.
There's no need in putting them in jail if you're not going to let them stay in jail and the bond money that they going to give you is come from the city taxpayer money
Anyone check Turners’s bank account before he left?
SMH,SEEMS TOO MUCH OF THIS LATELY.
Luxury po rn? Commotion pictures or antic photos?
No checks and balances
Residents had to figure it out? Not the police not the sheriffs no government branch figured it out?
Citizens need to take the law into their own hands.
Oopsy, looks like Abbott and his cronies are benefitting from the cash input? I'm clutching my conservative pearls....
