Thank you! It is amazing how dramatic the increase in budgeting for 2025, not to mention 2024 which is almost completed, for this County Administration in Houston. Actually shocking… None of the other Departments come at all close. Houston needs to be wrapped in billboards highlighting this. Only way, at this point, to reach the drones of Houston. Your work focusing on these items that reveal just about everything wrong with Houston government is vital! Thank you for the work you do!
Amazing that they can just keep getting away with this. Thank you for showing what is going on!
