YESTERDAY, THE CHRON’S CAUCASIAN THINK TANK admitted that there are still too many problems with HPD’s crime lab:
Seven years ago — seven! — we learned that HPD’s crime lab had botched thousands of cases. But even now, after a complete restructuring, the crime lab’s problems persist….
About that long ago, we also started learning of HPD’s looming manpower shortage. And of the massive unfunded liability in municipal pensions. Those problems persist, and we can throw in a serious deterioration in muni finances over the last five years.
We wish Mayor-elect Parker well in addressing these and other serious problems that she will be inheriting from Houston’s Dem candidate for governor.
