KHOU-11’s Mark Greenblatt had a big story last night about bonuses handed out to Harris County Housing Authority staff, including a $23,000 bonus given to Executive Director Guy Rankin on top of his $95,000 salary. Total bonus money given to all HCHA staff was $100,000, according to Greenblatt’s report.
Since we know of at least one instance where Greenblatt seriously distorted an investigative story, I’m wondering if Greenblatt left anything out of this one. Are we missing any context?
And, in fact, on the sidebar of KHOU’s story is a response letter from HCHA attorney James Lemond in which he disagrees with many of Greenblatt’s conclusions. It must be sweeps week.
