Mayor John Whitmire delivering the hard, honest truth about the City of Houston’s financial condition.
“I think we can all agree on that, we are broke. This gives us a chance to discuss the financial picture of this City. It is broken! It was broken when I got here,” said Whitmire.
With an estimated current deficit of at least $160 million, Whitmire is exploring a 5% across-the-board-cut to all aspects of City government, barring firefighters and police.
“I don’t like a 5% cut now, but you have to make tough decisions and folks put me in this position to make tough decisions, and I’m going to do my job,” said Whitmire.
