Houston’s Financial Watchdog vs Mayor’s Advisor

Houston’s City Controller Chris Hollins has launched a formal probe into top mayor’s advisor Chris Brown, who earned $127K but only entered City Hall 13 times in nearly 600 workdays. Hollins demands Brown’s suspension and vows to root out waste, while Mayor Whitmire defends him, citing his past success in managing city finances and passing the budget.
