Fort Bend voters must sort through racist rhetoric and a contract scandal to decide who...
George has been through multiple campaigns but told us this was the worst he’s seen in terms of racist threats and hate, many of which come from people supporting his Republican opponent.
But it’s important to be clear about the differences. We did our best to dig into the matter and admit it’s not entirely transparent to us. On the one hand, things seemed to have worked as they should. The external audit from the firm Whitley Penn found concerning gaps and the county halted payments.
Through his own digging, he said he learned from the purchasing department that the firm’s initial bid was well below the final amount awarded. To be sure, this can happen in the negotiating process and Meyers confirmed that he was not prevented from seeing any of the original bids though he did not request them at the time. But the large increase of more than $200,000 made him frustrated that he hadn’t been given more information up front.
George reiterated to us that he has “never worked with” Next Wave. He would not, via his communications director, respond to questions about his office’s involvement in the contract process. George touts his COVID leadership and the high vaccination rate in Fort Bend County, his efforts to expand the capacity of the county’s emergency operations, his robust assistance efforts to help local families, businesses and restaurants during the pandemic and raising the county’s profile to attract new businesses. He also supported a disparity report to help ensure the county hired more diverse contractors.
