Back in late 2004, then-KHOU-11 Consumer Reporter Eileen Faxas took the city to task for doing away with easily accessible online restaurant health inspection results. At that time, Mayor White seemed to side with Houston Restaurant Association Director Juli Salvagio, who contended that the reports weren’t needed. The weekly reports were ordered removed, even after the city had paid $217,000 for a computer program designed to post results online in detail. Ms. Faxas ended her report:
The mayor’s spokesman did say the city will reconsider its position — if the public complains.
Almost a year later, the city seems to have gotten enough complaints. Both KHOU and the Chron are reporting that the new restaurant health inspection site is up and running.
