City Controller Investigates Top Advisor

Houston’s City Controller Chris Hollins has launched a probe into Mayor John Whitmire’s top advisor, Chris Brown, who earns over $127K annually for a role created by the mayor himself—yet has only clocked in 13 times since January. Hollins is demanding Brown’s suspension and full cooperation, including document releases, while hinting this could take months or even a year to resolve. Brown, who previously held the controller’s job before Hollins took over, has a history of financial hardship, including selling furniture and relying on credit cards to cover his mortgage.
