Chron: "City's take-home cars burn red ink by the gallon"
THE CHRON'S JAMES PINKERTON AND YANG WANG turned in some excellent watchdog reporting today on the city's fairly lax (and costly) take-home vehicle policy. Here's a teaser:
[A] Houston Chronicle analysis shows hundreds of municipal employees use taxpayers' cars more for commuting to work than they do for job duties. According to mileage reports filed for 1,200 vehicles assigned to city employees, only 54 percent of the total mileage reported was work-related.
It's also worth revisiting Rorschach's earlier post on the costs associated with former Mayor Bill White's preferred "green" Toyota Prius purchases.
