Texas Watchdog: HASDC refuses to provide information to Mayor's office
Texas Watchdog's Steve Miller reports that the nonprofit HAS Development Corp. has refused to turn over documents requested by the office of Mayor Bill White:
“The HASDC wrote to the Attorney General’s office … It feels that it doesn’t have to provide these records,” said Patrick Trahan, the mayor’s press secretary. “We are waiting to hear.”
Trahan told Miller the mayor's office will continue to press for the information. Mayor White likes to have things his way, so we can't imagine being told "no" by a quasi-public spinoff of the city's airport system is likely to sit well with him (at least if getting the information is actually a priority for his office).
Texas Watchdog, one city councilmember, and the city controller have all been similarly rebuffed in their efforts to obtain financial information about the shadowy spinoff created and operated at least partly with taxpayer resources.
