Really need local media to use their words. The passive voice here excuses TxDOT's responsibility.
The bridge was closed for months because TxDOT broke it. Their contractor failed to secure equipment which washed downstream and broke the bridge.

Mayor John Whitmire is facing formal ethics complaints from the Houston Progressive Caucus over his new podcast, "901 Bagby: Inside the Mayor's Office."

According to members of the caucus, the group filed grievances over the past week with the Texas Ethics Commission, the city of Houston's Inspector General, and the City Controller's waste, fraud and abuse division.

The complaints came after Houston Public Media obtained documents showing the podcast costs up to $60,000 in public funds. Because the podcast is taxpayer-funded, the group argued Whitmire's brief allusion to next year's municipal election during the first episode of the podcast ran afoul of state ethics rules around political advertising.

Houstonians have seen @houmayor's texts about bike lanes. Nobody's going to believe this is about safety. https://t.co/ajKX1tXawC

To maintain scheduled 6 min headways, metro has to run double the number of trains. they do not have enough vehicles and are having to reduce train sizes in half, from 2 car trains to 1. As we saw in that anon letter from an operator, they aren’t getting breaks like they should

[Pct 339 Vote Getters @339Pct]

Yes, that’s correct.

The scooter ban proposal is an indictment on Houston leadership’s poor problem solving capabilities. Instead of recognizing that scooters bring enjoyment and life to DT at night, and instead of evaluating effective policy in other cities to develop a safe solution, they just ban.

[Jordan Thomas @JRDNLTHMS]

Some are gaslighting the public into believing this isn't about citations and criminalizing the homeless.

This rhetoric flies in the face of the timing in which this was brought to council. It was only contemplated as a policy after the Supreme Court ruled cities could issue...

County Wide Protests this Saturday July 19th!!! See attached flyer for details!!

[Pct 339 Vote Getters @339Pct]

@JRDNLTHMS This isn’t the answer and a waste of police, jails and judicial
resources. Housing and services are the answer.

[NorthlineLex @NorthlineLex]

Given that we have a mayor that prefers prisoners not have Air conditioning in their cells, I foresee more deaths in the future.

[NorthlineLex @NorthlineLex]

That last line he said ... Stings a little ...

This is a stain on our country. More evidence that the parade on Saturday has nothing to do with honoring our Military. @CAgovernor @harrisdemocrats

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

You sent your troops here without fuel, food, water or a place to sleep.

Here they are — being forced to sleep on the floor, piled on top of one another.

If anyone is treating our troops disrespectfully, it is you @realDonaldTrump.
