Stiles v. HCC: Public information throwdown '08!
Chron reporter Matt Stiles recently blogged about HCC and its stonewalling of his public information requests.
Today, he blogs about the latest excuses for the stonewalling from the HCC IT people, and concludes:
This is a common excuse from governmental agencies who resist releasing aggregate data electronically. Surely the folks at the county, HISD and the city of Houston -- who have released this information before -- had to "join tables, write complex queries and subroutines, test the output and extract the data into spreadsheets or flat files."
They just seemed to get it done about 68 hours faster than HCC.
He also follows up with an informative reply to some reader comments.
If HCC thinks they're going to get over on this reporter, they're almost certainly going to learn otherwise.
The question is, why are they trying to get over on anyone? It's the public's information.

Houston told to repay $15 million in housing funds
The Chronicle's Mike Snyder reported over the weekend that Houston will have to repay at least $15 million in federal housing funds, one of the highest repayments ever demanded of a local agency:
The required repayment, either from local funds or future federal allocations, could rise as high as $25 million depending on the outcome of an ongoing review, the Department of Housing and Urban Development said. Even the minimum amount would be among the highest repayments HUD has ever demanded from local governments receiving its funds, a HUD spokesman said Friday.
The demand covers spending in all three of the major HUD programs that help the city provide housing and neighborhood improvement services ranging from down-payment assistance for working-class home buyers to repairs of houses occupied by the poor and elderly.
All of the questioned expenditures occurred before December 2004, when Mayor Bill White replaced the director of the city's Housing and Community Development Department and pledged reforms in the long-troubled agency, city and HUD officials said.
"This has nothing to do with the current situation," said Richard Celli, the department's current director. "These are problems that happened years ago."
Hmmmm, who WAS the director when the mismanagement ocurred? Who was mayor?
KHOU-11's Mark Greenblatt notes another aspect of this whole, long, drawn out mess:
And what's more, in 2004, the city promised the feds it would re-inspect and fix potentially shoddy work at thousands of other homes where work had taken place.
So what's happened in the last four years? Of 2,200 hundred homes, only 760 have been inspected again.
And it turns out one in nine homeowners have literally died, while waiting to get help.
In fact, the backlog of those who need new repairs has grown so long, the city simply stopped taking in applications, back in 2006.
And now, the federal government is giving the city of Houston 45 days to forward a detailed plan to accomplish those re-inspections. The feds are also demanding the city return millions of dollars that was to be spent on home improvement programs.

John Keeling: Lazy local media's favorite "expert"
Cory Crow notes that hotel development shill consultant John Keeling has made yet another appearance in the local media, this time in a Chronicle column by Nancy Sarnoff:
Every major convention city has at least three 1,000-room hotels, Keeling said.
"A 1,200-room hotel by itself basically put Houston in the game. Houston is not in position to win the game until they get at least another 1,000-room hotel," he said.
Back to Crow:
Reports like this are paid to drive excitement for the project. The analysts are always encouraged to present the best case scenario. I've previously outlined the tendencies of Keeling's estimates to be on the high side and I don't see any reason that this will change now. As a matter of fact, a search of the Chron archives reveals a pattern of overly optimistic predictions from Keeling as well as a misidentification of several trends pertaining to downtown.
An expert like John Keeling, who has a history of overestimating in his estimates, is hardly proof of case when Millions of Dollars are on the line.
It's well past time that the local media stop citing Keeling uncritically, and start doing some homework.
It's beyond lazy for professional writers with access to tools like Lexis/Nexis and Chronicle archive search tools that actually work nevertheless to refrain from simple research into the accuracy of Mr. Keeling's past projections. If hobby bloggers can do it, surely the pros can give it a try.

Klein ISD moves forward with $647 million bond election
Klein ISD's board has approved the $647 million bond proposal that includes razing and rebuilding Klein High School:
If approved by voters, the $646.9 million bond issue would address district needs in five areas.
The bulk of the bond package, $345.9 million, would go toward the construction of three new elementary schools, one early childhood/pre-kindergarten center, two intermediate schools and one high school on Spring-Cypress Road; the purchase of four sites for new schools; the construction of a 700-seat classroom addition at Klein Oak and a 500-seat addition at Klein Collins high schools; the construction of a multi-purpose center, which would be used as an agricultural center and for staff development purposes; an addition to the Klein Instructional Center; the construction of transportable buildings; the addition of a south transportation center; and the purchase of new buses.
About $256.7 million will go toward campus renovation projects including the estimated $130 million Klein High School reconstruction project.
Several buildings will be demolished and rebuilt at that site, while the fine arts, choir, pavilion, and natatorium buildings remain intact. The funding will also go toward the reconstruction of the Klein Annex next to the Klein High School campus; upgrades and renovations to campus athletic facilities, including Klein Forest High School; and repairs and upgrades the heating, ventilation and air conditioning, plumbing, roofing, electrical systems, lighting and flooring at several campuses.
The $38.2 million designated for technology will fund new equipment to accommodate increased enrollment and student access to technology, equipment needed to continue the district's technology baseline standard initiative and the replacement of outdated technology equipment.
Another $6.1 million will purchase new security cameras, replace outdated security equipment and install fire alarms in district facilities.
Only about half the bond money will go toward new schools -- the most critical need for Klein ISD right now.
Also, the ill-advised "laptops for all high school students" lives on. Parents need to be allowed to opt out if they will be responsible for repair and/or replacement costs.
And while many local school districts have programs that allow parents online access to their children's attendance and grades, Klein ISD does not. Cy-Fair ISD, Tomball ISD, Humble ISD, Spring ISD all have this capability, but Klein has not invested in this technology. Instead, Klein parents must wait for progress reports and report cards to come home to find out how students are doing. This becomes especially problematic as students enter high school and start planning for college. This type of program would be a much better use of technology dollars than laptops for all high school students.
Now the district will put all its effort into getting out a YES vote; the bond referendum will be on May 10.

Froot Loops Bureau helps out Chron sports section
We've wondered what happened to the Chronicle Froot Loops Bureau, which used to rewrite breaking local news seen on television in the mornings and post it to Chron.com.
It appears that the Froot Loops Bureau may have shifted to the sports section.
Yesterday, a reader passed along a New York Times story that reported the IRS was looking into a Houston-area gym as part of the Clemens steroid/HGH investigation. I furled the story, predicting that a Chron rewrite would probably appear shortly.
That prediction was only half-right. A version of the story by "Chronicle News Services" did indeed appear. However, the Froot Loops Bureau apparently couldn't even be bothered to rewrite it, instead changing a handful of words and otherwise directly ripping about half the story from the New York Times.
Weak.
At least the New York newspapers are keeping us up to speed on some of the local angles to this story. Now what is the name of the local Hearst daily again?

City uses eminent domain to acquire land for a "pocket park"
According to a story by the Chron's Mike Snyder, the city is using eminent domain to claim a parcel of land in order "to develop a small 'pocket park' on the edge of a large, upscale redevelopment project."
Originally the owners of the land were negotiating with Wulfe & Co., which wanted to buy the land to go along with its BLVD Place development, but soon after those negotiations fell through, the city filed condemnation proceedings to acquire the land. Uptown District President John Breeding assures that the land will be used to benefit the public and not Wulfe & Co.
Actually, he was offended at the suggestion that this was done for the benefit of Ed Wulfe's company.
Joe Turner, the city's parks and recreation director, acknowledged that it is rare for the city to use its eminent domain authority to acquire land for parks. But in this case, Turner said, the action was justified.
"We have a shortage of parks in that area, and the Uptown District has done a good job of maintaining parks," Turner said.
Gray, the Collinses' attorney, agreed that the area needs more parks. The location of this small park, however, will primarily benefit Wulfe and his customers, so the developer should bear the costs rather than relying on a publicly funded agency to do so, Gray said.
So a shortage of parks = justification for eminent domain proceedings. Wait until Metro gets wind of this.
KEVIN WHITED ADDS (03-09-2008): Chronicle metro/state columnist Rick Casey isn't terribly bothered by this latest example of the city trying to stick it to the little guy. Then again, it's hardly shocking that the Chronicle's resident plagiarist doesn't have a problem with property being taken without proper credit/value.

Diligent HCAD civil servants find tax break for Mayor (Part 2)
In this week's Houston Press, Rich Connelly has an update on that big reduction Mayor White received on his home's tax assessment:
Here's the scenario so far: Houstonian Tim Hebert first noticed the reduction late last year; when he asked the Harris County Appraisal District the reason for the drop, he was told new flood plain maps had lessened the value of White's home.
When we looked into it (see Hair Balls, February 21) HCAD told us the new floodplain map had nothing to do with it, and the agency had simply discovered that White's home had been overvalued.
Then the Houston Chronicle followed up, and HCAD said...it was a matter of the new floodplain map. And White was just one of thousands of Houstonians who would eventually see such beneficial reductions.
Sounds perfectly clear.
We called HCAD again, just to see what the Answer of the Day would be. We can't say we were too surprised to find out it's back to "the new floodplain map had nothing to do with it."
The current explanation, which still stands as we go to press (we make no guarantees beyond that): White's home value was reduced because it was in a floodplain, but it's in the floodplain under both the old and new maps. It is only a coincidence that the assessment was reduced at the same time the new map was issued, says HCAD's Jason Cunningham.
"The floodplain is an issue that has always existed [on White's property]," he said.
The new flood maps, he said, will affect other homeowners whose houses are all suddenly within the 100-year floodplain, and those assessments will be reduced. Eventually.
As we noted in the previous column, there's no evidence that White himself did anything to get the favorable adjustment.
If you think HCAD handled the account any differently, or quicker, than it would for any other resident who might be living in a seriously overvalued home, then you're just a cynical sort and we feel sorry for you.
We've yet to receive any uplifting stories from citizens who have received similar treatment, but we'll repeat our call for such stories (send your story to publiustx-at-gmail.com).

Just a coincidence?
The city of Houston buys six blocks of land at an inflated price, using property tax money and water/sewer funds to pay off political insiders.
Dallas will have snow... in March.
Coincidence? Yes. Hell is only supposed to freeze over when something unusual happens.
Oh, three other minor notes -- first, don't look for the article about this fine example of public cronyism planning on the front of the Chron's website. The link's already disappeared.
Second, look at the raw URL for the story linked above: www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/headline/sports/5596697.html
Gee, that's an interesting editorial choice, isn't it?
And third, just FYI, this Bloomberg news article appeared on the Chron's website today: Houston Borrowing Costs Skyrocket.
Banks and brokers built the market for auction-rate bonds by marketing the debt to investors as safe, cash-like securities and to municipal borrowers as a low-cost source of financing. Until mid-February, banks supported prices by bidding for bonds that went unsold, preventing auctions they ran from failing.
"There's always a shiny new deal, and the banks make money every time they participate," said Houston City Councilwoman Anne Clutterbuck, head of the council's budget and fiscal affairs committee. The city's borrowing costs rose by $3 million a month in February when rates on some of its debt soared to 7.8 percent from 4.25 percent. "It's going to put pressure on us as we prepare our budget."
You can also find the same article here, on Bloomberg's site.
Hinky financing and shady deals. Don't worry, it's just business as usual downtown.

County settles civil rights case
The big elections overshadowed an interesting bit of news from county government that Bill Murphy reported for the Chronicle earlier this week:
Harris County commissioners voted unanimously Monday morning to pay $1.7 million to settle a lawsuit that led to the resignation of District Attorney Chuck Rosenthal.
After an emergency, closed-door meeting, commissioners agreed to settle with Sean Carlos Ibarra, 37, and Erik Adam Ibarra, 28, two brothers who claim that they were wrongfully arrested by sheriff's deputies, whom they photographed and videotaped during a 2002 drug raid at their neighbor's home. Because of a subpoena filed in that lawsuit, Rosenthal's personal, romantic e-mails to his secretary surfaced.
The settlement comes as the sheriff's deputies were scheduled to testify this week in the Ibarra's civil trial in U.S. District Judge Kenneth Hoyt's court. The Ibarras were seeking $5 million in damages for the alleged civil rights violation.
[snip]
The Ibarras' lawyers made the offer over the weekend — before Monday's scheduled testimony from deputies involved in the case, said County Judge Ed Emmett.
[snip]
Emmett said, ``The rational thing to do was to accept this settlement offer. Sometimes you make the best deal you can and move on. It allows the sheriff's office to get back to being the sheriff's office.''
One suspects that Chuck Rosenthal wishes the deal had come just a few weeks earlier.
The entire fiasco has certainly provided an enlightening -- albeit expensive -- look into county government. Here's hoping that the local media will remain interested in covering county affairs, even in the absence of titillating legal action.

Better wait a few days before trying the recipes (cont'd)
As we've noted several times before, it's always good to wait a few days (for corrections) before trying any recipe that appears in the Chronicle.
Here's something from today's corrections that helps make the point:
A recipe for Fish in Leaves on Page F4 of today's Flavor section contains an error. It should call for 1 pound, 10 ounces of tilapia fillets.
Happy cooking (once you've checked the corrections)!

Casey: Dem attention was great fun!
Chronicle metro/state columnist and resident plagiarist Rick Casey had an interesting admission in today's column:
Over the past two weeks, Texas Democrats have been wooed as never before.
Hillary and Barack have pressed their charms on us by air and by land and by cyberspace.
They've phoned us relentlessly, thrown gigantic parties for us, knocked on our doors.
They've sent scores of their friends to ask for our hands on their behalf.
They've done everything but send us flowers.
We never really doubted Mr. Casey's partisan preferences.

Thoughts on tonight's elections and election coverage (please contribute!)
For us political junkies, tonight's elections and local election coverage continue to be gripping.
Most of it anyway. KHOU-11 just threw it over to Len Cannon, who proceeded to discuss Chronicle editorial page cartoonist Nick Anderson's latest doodlings.

Is Quanell the Tenth the new Bob Stein?
Remember when Rice professor and bicyclist Bob Stein used to turn up in the local media all the time, as an expert on everything?
Although he's not really an expert on everything, Quanell the Tenth also seems to turn up all the time in media reports, for reasons that have never been entirely clear. A bemused reader passed along this latest instance from a Chronicle story:
Led by community activist Quanell X, residents of a southwest Houston apartment complex began a grass-roots search Sunday to catch a serial rapist.
Raina Williams, 34, said she wishes someone would come forward with information that would lead to the arrest of the suspect, who police believe has attacked at least four women since September.
"It will be nice if he is caught because it's scary, very scary. Sometimes you don't have a person to meet you at the bus stop," said Williams, who lives with her 11-year-old daughter, 22-year-old sister and her sister's 2-year-old daughter.
Houston police have said they believe the same man has sexually assaulted three women in the 9300 block of Dairy View and one in the 9400 block of Dairy Ashford. They believe the man lives in the area.
Quanell, who along with four other men passed out fliers with composite sketches of the suspect Sunday, said the community wants police and area apartment complexes to increase security. "And we are saying to the rapist, it would be wise if you turn yourself in because if you don't, when the community catches you, we will whip your rusty, raggedy behind," Quanell said.
Allrighty then!

Sometimes, the headline is your cue to stop reading
Here's an actual headline from today's Chronicle editorial page:
No sacred cows: Complaints about no Tejano headliner seem thin, but rodeo officials should not lightly dismiss them
The logic within the editorial was no better than the logic of the headline (or should we say, it was equally contradictory).
Would it be too much to ask of professional writers employed to produce two opinions per day actually to have opinions? Pick one: "Complaints about no Tejano headliner don't have merit" -- or, "Complaints about no Tejano headliner do have merit." Then run with it.

Parker: "Soccer stadium debate needs clarity"
As Charles Kuffner notes, City Controller Annise Parker is now among those of us with questions about Mayor White's effort to push through the Dynamo soccer stadium boondoggle with little public scrutiny:
City Controller Annise Parker wants clarity in discussing public funding of the proposed Dynamo soccer stadium.
The city is attempting to acquire a six-block tract east of downtown through a combined purchase and land swap. That tract may be offered to the Houston Dynamo as a site for their proposed stadium. The city has previously participated in the downtown baseball and basketball venues so this is not unprecedented. If the city does not complete a Dynamo deal, the tract would be held until a use is determined.
“My first concern is for the land acquisition. While there has been public speculation about the use of the land, the request for council action identifies no specific public purpose. That is backward public policy,” the controller stated. “The city is not in the land speculation business. Council should know for what purpose the land will be used.”
Mayor Bill White favors using money from the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) located just east of downtown to cover the purchase of five of the six blocks. When a TIRZ is created the city agrees to return to the zone any growth in property taxes resulting from increased development. In turn, the TIRZ can borrow against those dollars for infrastructure improvements or use those dollars for enhanced street lights, sidewalks, landscaping and other public improvements.
“TIRZ dollars are property taxes. This is a legitimate use of TIRZ monies, but to say there will be no public dollars, or tax dollars, used for this purchase is simply inaccurate,” she said.
The sixth block will be acquired through a land swap using water and sewer ratepayer dollars. “I am concerned about the use of public utility revenues to help make this deal possible. Our water and sewer customers should not be helping to subsidize a professional sports facility, no matter how much we want it," the controller said.

Hurtt: Keep yourself safe
Last Friday, Chief Hurtt kicked off the city's March on Crime campaign:
Houston police today launched the city's March on Crime campaign, aiming to make citizens more aware this month of what they can do to reduce crime and violence in their neighborhoods.
In its 24th year, the campaign is coupled this month with HPD's "Keep Houston Safe" program, which includes taking mobile command posts into neighborhoods, adding more patrols and recruiting citizens and business owners to pay more attention to what is going on around their homes and shopping areas, Hurtt said.
"Citizens sign pledges that they will help us prevent crime by being alert themselves and also taking extra initiatives to protect their homes and property," Hurrt said today. "This is a full-court press by citizens to keep Houston safe."
Feel free to supply your own punchline in the comments.

No Mayor White riding to the rescue?
Not all Houston residents can count on Mayor White to intervene when a developer proposes building a high-density project (via the Chronicle):
A San Antonio developer of low-income, multi-family apartments has plans to build a $26 million complex with 252 one- to four-bedroom units on South Gessner, between West Bellfort and McGee Lane, using $13 million in tax credits and private funding.
Some southwest Houston residents, however, are opposing the plans to build Costa del Rey, citing the approximately 96 apartments already saturating the 3-mile radius of the proposed site with tenants who place a heavy burden on area schools, law enforcement and infrastructure.
[snip]
Elaine Gascamp, president of the Super Neighborhood No. 36 and the city's Super Neighborhood Alliance, and director on the Brays Oaks Management District, said the area is Houston's second-highest in density only to Greenspoint.
She said the new proposal would place the complex in one of the area's most densely populated neighborhoods — on South Gessner across from Welch Middle School and adjacent to Mount Olive Baptist Church.
Gascamp said she was not mollified by NRP's assurances that Costa del Rey would only accept qualified professionals and others who earned near the $27,000 to $47,000 mark, since area schools are already at capacity and local police are stretched to deal with the existing population.
These South Gessner residents must be an example of the "low-income residents who might have less time or inclination to vote and take part in civic affairs" that the Chronicle editors described when they defended Mayor White against charges of favoritism in the Ashby high rise brouhaha. They shouldn't hold their breath that Mayor White will provide any assistance.

Dynamo: We want our share of the taxpayer-funded stadium pie
The Dynamo are getting more brazen in their demand for a publicly-financed stadium. In a Chronicle story about Oscar De La Hoya buying into the Houston soccer team, the ending paragraphs are key:
AEG is hoping the infusion investment from Brener and particularly De La Hoya will help reach a favorable agreement with the city for the construction of a soccer stadium just east of U.S. 59 and downtown. AEG reiterated its commitment to finance much of the project but wants the city to contribute a significant share toward the building of the $70 million to $90 million facility.
White has been reluctant to commit public money for the proposed project, although he recently said if the city does commit public funds, it will do so cautiously.
De La Hoya said he and Brener are prepared to invest "substantial" amounts of money into the project but want more support from the city.
"We just don't want to be at an economic disadvantage to other teams in the market," said Leiweke. "We don’t want to be the only fools who privatize the stadium. “Whether it’s the league or the other teams in town, we just want to be competitive.”
The fools are the taxpayers, of course, which is why Mayor White has spent the past couple of years keeping negotiations quiet, refusing to tell the public what's going on.
So let's visit the archives again, to see how the Dynamo and Mayor White have moved the goalposts:
This is from November 20, 2007:
White is seeking a deal that would not require the city to contribute public money. While AEG's proposal calls for the company to bear most of the construction costs, it still would require the city to provide millions of dollars in needed infrastructure improvements, city and team officials said.
This is from January 9, 2008:
"It's not going to be done the way it was done with other stadiums, where the taxpayers picked up the tab," said White said.
And this is from January 14, 2008:
Mayor Bill White said he doesn't want public funds used for the actual stadium construction.
And here's Oliver Luck from way back in 2005:
And among the first promises [newly named club president Oliver] Luck announced was a most important one that every sports fan should note: A soccer-specific stadium here would not be financed like every other sports mansion on the local landscape.
Financing will not be another tax burden on citizens.
As the old joke goes, how can you tell when a pol is lying? His lips are moving. Except that this joke won't hurt the politicians, only the taxpayers who get to foot the bill.

High Tech Texan: City sends out RFI on muni wi-fi network
Remember back when Mayor White first announced his municipal wi-fi initiative with great fanfare, media cheerleading, and a general feeling of the utopia that would result from our mayor taking such decisive steps to bridge the "digital divide" (oh, and to get the City of Houston free -- at the time -- use of the wifi network)?
Utopia sort of landed with a thud after Earthlink backed out of the arrangement, concluding that a payout to the city of several million dollars was better than actually trying to make the deal work financially.
But the effort to bridge the "digital divide" and make Houston world-class apparently continues. Michael Garfield reports on his High Tech Texan blog that the city has quietly sent out an RFI to potential vendors:
Just when we thought the City of Houston learned its lesson from trying to unwire the city from the tangled cables of the Internet, it looks as if they are giving it another try.
Less than six months removed from the unraveling of the Earthlink deal, the City's Digital Houston Initiative has released a Request for Information/Interest to prepare for a competitive solicitation to expand the current municipal wireless network. This RFI was released without the fanfare of the original muni-wireless RFP back in February 2006.
The details are posted on the blog. Garfield also asks,
Do we really need a citywide network with more Hotspots popping up at affordable costs or even free access (i.e. AT&T/Starbucks)? Are consumers and businesses willing to pay for not-so-speedy access?
Good questions.
As I suggested in Garfield's comments, I suspect the only way that a private firm can make this workable is if the City of Houston signs on as an "anchor tenant" (meaning it wouldn't actually pay to construct and maintain the system, but it would pay significant amounts of money on an annual basis to use it).
Still, some people will be happy to know that The Dream lives on!
