Sounds like Dora should be puckering up.

This might sting a little:

The meeting last summer got heated when Cagle said, "in the Elevate contract, obviously the one-person shop can't handle all of the work that is to be required."

Hidalgo interrupted Cagle, saying he was mischaracterizing the company with a "bold-faced lie."

"You well know it's not a one-person shop," Hidalgo said.

"This firm was selected by a committee that I had no idea who the firms were that applied. I didn't know who was selected until the (vendor) was selected. Once the vendor was selected, I learned it was the same vendor that did some of our Census outreach, which was very robust. That could not have been done by a one-person firm," Hidalgo said. "... I do not know this person other than they did the Census work, and from what I know, they did a good job at it."

That article has some damning stuff in it. I'm sure that's just the tip of the iceberg. How does Dora survive this? They have her entire staff dead to rights, no way she is able to claim plausible deniability

Claimed she didn't know the person that got the contract but was texting and emailing back and forth with her.

Claimed she didn't know her while in an official capacity at commissioners court. Surely lying during court is some sort of actionable offense.

Wow. I had no clue that Alex T ******bag that ran for Culbertson's seat was one of Dora's minions sucking off the county teet.

I've said it in this thread, but my god is this amazing to me. I literally turned down suite tickets for the rodeo this weekend because I'm doing an rfp and didn't want the look of preferential treatment.

Meanwhile, our crooked ass government is pulling **** like this with taxpayer money. If my management found out I did any of these things in an rfp id be fired in an instant: texting suppliers the scope before it's released, working with suppliers to draft the scope to help them, talking internally on how to "slam to door" on other suppliers for no valid reason.

This incompetence and corruption is frustrating as hell

"Judge Hidalgo's office in Harris County just reached out to me about 1) taking over COVID 19 intelligence and analytics and 2) managing a community outreach campaign to push us close to herd immunity. They also reached out to me to do redistricting too," according to the search warrant.
The story isn't that [DeSantis] "couldn't win" the primary. The story is that an overwhelming majority of our population is heinously stupid. 50% of them vote for communists. 75% of the remaining 50% vote for Trump, who cant win. When the majority of the opposition party insists on voting for an opposition candidate who can't win, you get exactly the government you deserve. - Well Endowed Ag

Oberg's one of the most serious reporters in town, and usually has some good sources that go beyond the quoted subjects.

evidently so. With all the degenerate activism and progressive agendas those weirdos push, this is a Dim-sanctioned hit job for sure.

Yeah, credit to Oberg on that.

Probably the most detailed story I've seen on KTRK, ever.

is the story still up? Reddit is right up there with Twitter on examples of hoe social media is destroying the world.

However id like to get a laugh at the expense of triggered libs. Don't see it on r/houston.

I tried to post the channel 13 link and got an error message saying something along the lines of "this link has already been posted and discussed in this community" despite not seeing it when sorting by new. I then posted the chronicle story on it and I'm pretty sure they shadow banned me because there has been no engagement with the post.

They were deleting the story of the initial search warrant for awhile. When it finally got posted, the comments were mixed.

They were also deleting the officer funeral video and only allowed the article with her response posted.

100% chance one of the mods is on her staff.

It was the best attempt yet. Your post was alive for maybe an hour or so.

I didn't remove it, but my guess is because the headline was terrible. If you don't think you can write a better headline, just use the headline from the linked post. Plus this should be a link post, not a text post.

I contacted the mods to complain and looks like my post got posted... 9 hours later

https://www.reddit.com/r/houston/comments/thq8by/warrants_detail_communications_between_hidalgo/

Edit: Blaming the spam filter for keeping out anything negative on Dora. I'm pretty sure the spam filter prevented me from posting the channel 13 story because it gave me an error saying the link was already posted, so I posted the Chronicle story instead.

That Reddit spam filter only seems to impact negative stories about Lina . Like the funeral
