Should not take the Media to get involved for our MAGA Mayor to do what is right.
It should not take the media to force the City of Houston, under John Whitmire, to do what is right. Whitmire is the wrong mayor for Houston.
A Houston police officer rear-ended Kimberly Ezike on Harwin Drive and sent her car into a utility pole. She broke her leg. HPD suspended the officer for one day for failing to use caution. The city denied her claim, and her car was sold at an HPD auction for $10. ABC13’s investigation
The city says it denied her claim on immunity grounds because the officer was responding to a burglary call. HPD says it notified Ezike that her car would be treated as abandoned and gave her a deadline to retrieve it. Ezike says a city adjuster told her the car was still needed for the investigation. She says she was ready to pay the storage fee. Her mother’s ashes were in that car. When did the city tell her she was free to take it home? ABC13’s investigation
My favorite mayor knows how to get a woman a car. When police gunfire damaged UH student Abigail Trujillo’s car, the city denied her claim too. After ABC13 covered her case, John Whitmire and anonymous donors paid for a replacement, and the police union paid off her old loan. Whitmire handed her the keys and announced a review of claims. City lawyers now say they’re reviewing 2,000 claims and have yet to reverse a denial. ABC13 on Trujillo’s replacement car · ABC13 on the claims review
I’m glad Abigail got her car. I’d like to know what my favorite mayor plans to do for Kimberly Ezike. Houston managed to sell her car in less than two months. It’s had two years to figure out what it owes her.
