Just your average Houston citizen that sees everything.

@FirefightersHOU @GrooganFox26 @FOX26Houston @MustafaTameez the FF offered 2 proposals that cost less than Prop B & requested arbitration BEFORE Prop B was voted on. Turner rejected all 3. Why do people continue to put this on HFD? Turner had over a year to work out a deal ahead of Prop B and chose not to.

Houston mayor and city council approved the layoffs and demotions of nearly 800 @FirefightersHOU to “save” 20 million dollars in their upcoming budget

The same upcoming budget that gives the mayors office 15.3 million dollars to buy art...

Kingwood is flooding again. This time is not due to the Lake Houston dam or the Mouth Bar. This time is purely because the City has so poorly maintained the storm sewers and ditches leading to the rivers. #back2basics https://t.co/7ni4UGzM3L

I met many of these fine young people at Astros game last week. How they have been treated is a black stain on our City’s reputation.

[Deysy Rios @deysyreportera]

During the meetings with the firefighters we talked to Marty Lancton about what’s happening today @FirefightersHOU aquí el presidente de sindicato de Bomberos de #Houston habla sobre los despidos y notificaciones que reciben los trabajadores dice es un día triste para #Houston

[Ryan lee @RyanLeeForHou]

Prop A and Prop B were passed by council on the same day... Why is @SylvesterTurner using a Jan 1 effective date for @FirefightersHOU? Is prop A not effective tol Jan 1? Could it be that Jan 1 is the date the HPOU contract took effect? #factsmatter

[Bill King @BillKingHouston]

His reactions to Proposition B are a disgrace and clearly disqualify him to be re-elected.

[FFjay @f_fjay]

@GrooganFox26 @MikeKnox1Hou @SylvesterTurner They’re about to go down in history... not one firefighter has ever been laid off in the History of HFD. Not during the Great Depression, the Oil Bust of the 80s or the Great Recession and they’re gonna do it in the most booming local economy in a booming state. What failures

[Jarmar @JarmarDupas]

@GrooganFox26 I think we’ve seen this movie already...

[Bill King @BillKingHouston]

I was proud to join our Houston firefighters as we marched down to City Hall to hold Sylvester Turner accountable for his actions and demand that he keep his promises to our community. #HFDStrong

[Bill King @BillKingHouston]

One of the greatest hoaxes ever foisted on the Houston public is the claim that the Rebuild Houston program has paid down $1 billion of the City’s bond debt. In reality it has not paid down one penny on the debt. Here are the facts. https://t.co/ffXpzEJuz9

@FirefightersHOU @impactnews @SylvesterTurner Penas power point not to long ago,this guy is a Puppet!

[Ted Oberg @TedABC13]

375 Houston firefighters are facing layoffs in the battle over Prop B. Mayor Sylvester Turner says the union turned down his 5 year phase in. We have questions about just what the city offered, something's missing and city hall won't answer our ???. See you @10 ABC13 Houston .

[SirGodsmack @SirGodsmack]

@WayneDolcefino I’m still waiting. Why did the city pay HPD a 9% raise= to $118m during this dire straights? Also, because Turner keeps bringing this up too, what was the funding source for HPDs raise? Crazy HPD ask for a raise no worries, HFD ask for a raise and we start shutting down stuff

[Bill King @BillKingHouston]

Why is it that a prosperous city like Houston endures a subpar level of city services?

..because a pay-to-play system dominates City Hall and ensures that it is run for the benefit of special interests and not ordinary citizens. Sign up to end corruption! https://t.co/jnp1uxeu0W

[Houston Firefighters @FirefightersHOU]

With national attention on his political and legal attacks on Houston firefighters, vindictive Mayor @SylvesterTurner fails with multimillion-dollar, taxpayer-funded bid for 2020 @DNC Convention. #FollowTheMoney

[🌲Derick @Cleophas00]

The real reason we can’t afford to give firefighters a raise, Turner Spent $400 Million without City Council approval! https://t.co/9UoaYreDPw

[Houston Firefighters @FirefightersHOU]

Vindictive @SylvesterTurner still won't explain how COH spent 100s of millions for 37% HPD raises since '11 w/ no phony budget crises and layoffs. The "CEO" mayor clearly was not thinking about Houston public safety during this recent "trade" junket to India. #FollowTheMoney

[Bill King @BillKingHouston]

Instead of laying off 400 firefighters, he should be releasing every contract on the $400 million in contracts he signed without council approval. Turner is 100% to blame for the budget shortfall because of Prop B, and now he's putting the public at risk. https://t.co/IgOtkjeGHY

[Bill King @BillKingHouston]

Turner keeps saying he can’t afford to swear in 68 fire cadets or implement Proposition B that was approved by voters last fall. Maybe the money he needs is in the $400 million he spent without Council approval. https://t.co/njLncVRZmw
