KTRH-740’s Brent Fuller is reporting that HPD officials are saying HPD may have to cut spending on public safety in order to fund the next phase of Michael Bromwich’s investigation into the HPD crime lab.
Mayor White, who likes to wrap himself in “public safety” when it comes to promoting his agenda, needs to head this off by assuring citizens that the City of Houston will find the resources to sort out the crime lab without cutting public-safety services.
Mayor White was not quoted in Fuller’s story.
UPDATE: KTRK-13 and KHOU-11 cover the story.
UPDATE (08-16-2005): The Chronicle covers the story. Mayor White is not quoted. Where is the leadership of our “public safety” mayor on this important issue?
