Precinct One Commissioner Rodney Ellis Has Made no Payment for African Artwork Storage

After Precinct One Commissioner Rodney Ellis was ordered to pay back the County for the storage of the alleged stolen African Artwork, it has been found through a PIA request that the Commissioner has made not one single payment back to the County. The renovations Ellis made alone to the public storage shed cost the County $326k, this excludes the cost to taxpayers 2+ years’ worth of storing the fourteen hundred art pieces. The alleged owner, Sam Nunjuri, was ordered to put the artwork up for auction, when Nunjuri ended up making a 11th hour bankruptcy filing, cancelling the auction of the secretly stored African Art in Harris County.
