In a story posted this weekend, KHOU-11 finally reported on documents (inexplicably) withheld by the City of Houston after the big arson incident at Gallery Furniture.
We’re not going to steal KHOU’s thunder by blockquoting extensively — please go read their original watchdog reporting.
We will say that the pattern of violations, and Mattress Mack’s spinning, and internal HFD discussion related to “Mr. McIngvale” all make for some very interesting reading.
The Houston Chronicle also “covered” this news:
In inspections dating back to 2002, the city fire marshal’s office found dozens of violations across the multi-building site, according to records the Houston Chronicle obtained through its partnership with KHOU.
Well, at least KHOU covered it. But we’re pleased to see Paige Hewitt back at work after the short stint at KTRK, at least.
