Senate-Candidate White orders investigation into Mayor White's favorite "low-income advocacy group"
KTRK-13 ran this tidbit yesterday afternoon:
Houston Mayor Bill White is taking a closer look at the city's connection to the low-income Houston advocacy group ACORN. That comes after the group's CEO, Bertha Lewis, ordered an independent investigation into the group's systems and processes.
Mayor White didn't think anything was done wrong, but he looked at a $155,000 grant given to ACORN from the City of Houston just to make sure everything was on the up-and-up. The grant was to help people facing home foreclosure.
Senate-Candidate White is getting good at this.
