Did King sell taxpayers a bill of goods?

It is time for Bill King to come clean.
The Sunday Houston Chronicle says the HISD bond election may have fooled Houstonians. Suddenly $1.9 billion isn’t enough. Historically black schools are being destroyed. A rat infested school where the bathrooms smell like a prison may not be replaced. Broken promises!
Bill king chaired the HISD bond campaign in 2012, but never told voters he was on HISD’s payroll at the same time he was selling the deal. E-mails show King was in the know as HISD contractors curried favor with HISD with campaign money.
Now some of those same contractors are helping fund King’s mayoral campaign.
“This is what a career politician does,” says Ben Hall. “He hides the whole truth from the public, then benefits from the inside deals.”
A CNN money investigation fingers King for all the money he made running a controversial tax collection firm known for paying politicians. One of those politicians is Sylvester Turner. What a small world!
“Houston must reject these shameless political panhandlers,” says Hall. “We must move Houston forward without the backroom political deals. Sure the politicians and their friends make money, but who is taking care of the taxpayers?”
The money article has a picture with Bill King on one of the huge boats CNN says he owns.
Is this the payback when you make your living foreclosing on people’s homes?
