But it would not surprise me if he didn’t try to blame Turner. What the news is reporting on you, John Whitmire?
Since at least May, it has been a problem, and the problem is occurring in City-owned property.
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Recently, if you took a stroll around this part of Independence Heights, just a long this stretch of Yale Street near Weatherly Way, there’s a chance you may have noticed all sorts of items illegally tossed – from grocery carts and tires in the water to debris scattered along the sidewalk.
According to the city’s solid waste management department, much of the problem stems from a homeless encampment that needs to be cleared.
David, who lives nearby, originally reported the issue to 311 in May.
“I want Houston to work. When something is wrong in our neighborhoods and it needs attention, it shouldn’t be swept under the rug and said that it’s completed and it’s not,” David said.
David said this was just one of many cases marked complete. He said the same happened to this other one just down the street on Yale and Martin, which is city owned.
“They might not have gotten to it yet, but it was marked as complete because it was routed to the proper department, and that also is a confusing component to this,” Castillo said.
Castillo says as the city works to resolve problems with illegal dumping, Houstonians will need better communication from them.
“That is part of the frustration. You’re getting an email saying your request is marked as complete, and then you’re still seeing the trash there,” Castillo said.
