What the hell did they spend the money on? I live in the city limits and it's crapper than ever. The roads need a big truck to not bend wheels and mash oil pans. Trash and recycle are always late, and heavy trash skips months sometimes. I could go on and on. City services, and the overall appearance and maintenance of the city have been really suffering. From my point of view I can't see where all the money has gone and I'll be the last one to give the city MORE money to throw away
To hire Turner's friends to not do anything. There is an entire department devoted to it.

Office of Business Opportunity! What a department name. Legitimized government extortionists.

Poor gal's last day of grifting is tomorrow, March 29. Guess her usefulness as a government scam artist isn't required under Whitmire.

I traded in a bad ass Jaguar sports car a few years ago and upgraded my truck for that reason. After buying a few tires and rims just driving on the freeway and city streets. I think I spent 5k one year. Those rims are expensive!!!

It's an obstacle course out there.

It does seem there is more trash on Houston freeways than other places. Ran over a tire tread a few years back and tore up the bottom of my car.

When Chris Baker was on 740KTRH, he'd play a guessing game with the callers on what the debris in the road was that day. He always guessed ladder.

It's been several years but probably the craziest road debris I've ever seen in Houston was on 10, eastbound, between 45 and 59. I don't have a clue what happened but there were quite literally the severed heads of probably 2 dozen pigs that must have fallen off/out of the back of some truck going from the processor to someplace else.

It was a stretch I drove daily at the time and it was a sort of morbid experience to drive by them every day, because they damn sure weren't being picked up by the city, county, or TXDOT and see them either rot away or get steadily ground into a greasy spot on the freeway.

Stevens and Pruett used to do that with Lanny Griffith or Laurie Kendrick. If it was on 225 they always guessed lost load of pipe.

That also happened in the last year or so on the Hardy Street off ramp for the toll, right at 610. Heads, guts and all….it took about two or three days for TxDot to clean it up.

I was just going to say that. Back when I worked down by NRG, it seemed like almost daily there was a report of a giant spool rolling down the middle of the interstate.

They are going to close Houston Ave bridge for like 2 years to replace it because it keeps getting hit by spools.

1997 or 98 -- Katy Fwy inbound at Eldridge or so -- whole truck load of offal -- intestines, spines, heads, etc. -- looked like the floor of Hell in a painting.

Well, I didn't expect my neighborhood in Spring to have one of crazier stories so far this year, but here we are.

Not necessarily. She may get to do it in prison. Wasn't that dentist from Friendswood assisting or something during her time?

Mrs. Keen's FB page is up and still public and the comments on some of her pictures are quite hilarious. The internet does not disappoint.

Reminds me of this joke.

Seamus was coming out of the pub with his son when he stopped and put an arm around the youngster. He nodded towards the village in front of them and said, "You know, I built half the homes in this village but nobody calls me a homebuilder."

Then with a wave of his arm, he said, "And I worked on half the roads in this village but nobody calls me a roadbuilder."

Seamus sighed, put his two hands on his son's shoulders and, looking him hard in the eye, said, "But you **** one sheep…."

Good news everyone Whitmire is focusing his attention on the most important crime issue plaguing Houston... Short term rentals in high $$ neighborhoods.

Could he be more transparent about how campaign donations -> policies?
