The mayor walked out. 
For 100+ days, our investigation into the mayor’s senior advisor has been stonewalled, and now he's asking the Attorney General to let him withhold records.  
Politics won’t distract us. When taxpayer money is spent, Houstonians deserve the facts.

Public dollars require public accountability.

STATEMENT FROM HOUSTON CITY CONTROLLER ON EFFORTS TO OBTAIN PUBLIC RECORDS

We’re happy to help Houstonians navigate their water bills in light of new fees and other costly changes to the city’s budget. Thank you @THEPAIGEREPORT1 and @KPRC2 for having us on your new Cost of Living segment.

The Federal Reserve just raised interest rates 📈 So, what does that actually mean for your money, your mortgage, and the economy? Here’s what you need to know. 1/6

Would you give away $100-200 in exchange for $27?    City Hall just did, times a million. We need to be honest about the numbers and call this what it is: a bad deal for Houston.

We're 50 days until Election Day! 

Make sure you’re ready to vote on November 3. Register by October 5 at VoteTexas.gov. 🫶🏾 Your voice matters.

Shanah Tovah!   Wishing Houston’s Jewish community a meaningful and peaceful Rosh Hashanah filled with reflection, renewal, and time with loved ones.  May the new year bring health, happiness, peace, and sweet beginnings to all who celebrate.

25 years after 9/11, we still remember.     We remember the clear blue skies that turned dark with smoke. We remember the people who lost their lives. We remember the resilience and unity that followed. Join us in remembering. Take a photo of the sky, share it, tag @911memorial

Tarrant County just closed 92 voting centers, including those on college campuses. When politicians make it harder to vote, we should all be asking what they’re afraid of. Make a plan to vote so your voice can’t be silenced. #LetTexasVote 🗳️ 🇺🇸 🤝

BREAKING: You can now buy $25 worth of Trump coins for the low price of $61! That’s a better deal than the mayor made with the Woodlands last week, where he gave away $100-200 million of your money for $27 million — a fire sale meant to hide the city’s massive deficit spending.

Everyone in Houston deserves transparency, from Sunnyside to City Hall. 🔍 If the city knew Grimes Park was shutting down, its neighbors have a right to know too.

Houston just sold its future in a fire sale. City Council voted yesterday to give up $100-200 million in future revenue to plug a $27 million hole in today’s budget. They didn’t fix Houston’s spending problem. They just forced tomorrow’s taxpayers to cover today’s bills.
