Uptown condo owners want criminal probe
Share this story:
Thursday morning at 9:00 am well-known Houston Attorney Andy Taylor will call on the Harris County District Attorney to launch a criminal investigation of the Metropolitan Transit Authority.
Documents suggest METRO had improper contact with a State District Judge hearing a lawsuit challenging the legality of a highly controversial bus project on Post Oak Blvd.
Metro Board Chairman Gilbert Garcia says on Thursday the agency will decide on the punishment for the METRO lobbyist who made the contact, but believes it is time the Harris County District Attorney investigate the entire affair.
“We believe Metro owes an apology to the Judge, and to the taxpayers, and an investigation of why this happened and who was involved should commence immediately,” says Andy Taylor, attorney for the Uptown property owners.
This press conference will occur outside the front doors of Metro Headquarters. Upstairs the Metro Board of Directors are scheduled to hear about the incident.
