WATCH: Daniel Ramos, Harris County budget director (who makes a 6 figure salary a year) announce that the county is projecting a $16 million dollar deficit this year and by next year it will be $76 million dollars.
Keep in mind, since Harris County now has a Democrat supermajority. They have the ability to raise our taxes as they please.
Prior to the *strategic* redistricting which turned former Commissioner Jack Cagles district into a Democrat stronghold. The Republican commissioners were able to prevent the democrats from raising our taxes due to all the new socialist programs in which they have started since the commissioners court flipped Democrat.
So far the NGO Baker Ripley has received:
$48 million for child care
$170+ million for emergency rental assistance
$4 million for eviction legal assistance
They also took $20 million of the constables rollover funds, and have basically emptied out the general funds/ Flex funds which was created by the Republicans after Harvey for emergencies.
The county has also allocated 6 figures to BCG for the last 4 years for “COVID project management”
more money which has been used for “COVID reasons”
Harris County residents it is up to you to make sure that Rodney Ellis does not win his commissioner seat and we restore integrity back to commissioners court. Covid to these Marxists has turnt into an abuse of money and alleged kickbacks.
We need common sense and accountability back in Harris county, and you know the answer to this issue.
Ellis district is hardcore gimme leftist democRATS. No way an R can win that district. Ellis is dirty and anyone in his district that has a pulse has to know this, yet his *constituents" continue to reelect him, just like SJL.
