KHOU: Alvarado received warnings from F&A on spending
As Anne Linehan noted in an update to this post, KHOU-11 obtained a copy of the documents compiled by the Houston Office of Inspector General on the City Hall payroll scandal. Here's an excerpt of Doug Miller's reporting from earlier:
For the first time, it was revealed that a warning from the Finance and Administration Department had been sent to the mayor pro tem's office, with a copy sent directly to Councilmember Carol Alvarado via e-mail.
It said the office was going over budget and specifically mentioned the bonuses Alvarado said she knew nothing about
There was also a handwritten note from a finance and administration official saying that one of the employees who was getting big bonuses was warned the office was going way over budget.
KHOU has helpfully posted the OIG documents to its website (warning: the pdf appears to be large). I haven't had a chance to download and read it yet, but readers are more than welcome to leave comments about it.
It will be interesting to see how Councilmember Alvarado's PR team spins this latest information.
