Carey: Crime surges downtown, HPD still undermanned
KRIV-26'S ISIAH CAREY reports* that crime has spiked in downtown Houston since the HPD overtime budget was cut, beats are going unprotected and cases are going uninvestigated, and Chief Hurtt contends (in a letter to the Chronicle that was not published) that HPD is still short 1,400 to 5,000 men. These problems will all be inherited by the next mayor (along with serious financial issues).
