HOUSTON (KTRK) –The Houston Office of Inspector General, the city’s watchdog to find Houston employees wasting taxpayer dollars and breaking rules, refuses to release any information about its investigations or findings.
The office, with a $750,000 annual budget, has operated largely behind closed doors since 2010 when Mayor Annise Parker moved the Inspector General’s shop from the police department.
Now City Attorney David Feldman’s office oversees the Office of the Inspector General. And Parker and Feldman have put additional rules on the office to make it even more secretive, an ABC-13 investigation has found.
