Shreddergate: Conflict of interest, shredding likely topics in court hearing
IN THE LATEST SHREDDERGATE DEVELOPMENT, the Chronicle reports today that the relationship between a high-level exec with METRO's light-rail contractor and a senior light-rail executive within the organization is a potential topic at today's court hearing over a judge's order barring METRO from shredding documents.
METRO (represented by rejected mayoral candidate Gene Locke, a nice Houston Way touch!), which apparently would like to resume shredding documents without all this unusual and pesky media scrutiny, assures that it took steps to prevent any conflict of interest: METRO's executive, the organization tells reporter Mike Snyder, "signed a memo agreeing, among other things, not to talk to his wife about business included in the contract."
So there you have it!
UPDATE: The Chron Houston Politics blog has posted supporting documents for today's story.
