Employee Speaks Out
The developments are (not) coming fast and furious for the moment. Christopher Mays, one of the four employees accused in Bonusgate has spoken out in an interview with KTRK. Except he didn’t have much to say.
It’s been a difficult week and a half for Mays and the other employees who’ve been on suspension. There are lots of unknowns and rumors swirling around. Mays is reluctant to say much. . . . Mays isn’t saying publicly what he knows.
“I’m not sure (if Alvarado knew),” he said. “And I’d rather not comment.”
Mays said once the OIG’s investigation is complete he will be willing to talk further about exactly what went on inside the mayor pro tem’s office. As for the status of that investigation, city officials say they expect that to be completed later this week.
Dude, take a lesson from your boss. Hire a good lawyer and a PR firm!
Oh wait, city employees can’t afford those perks, can they? One rule for the goose, one rule for the gander. . . .
Prediction: The report will be released late on Friday, a time when no one is paying attention because the weekend is here.

Sources close to the investigation said the report involving the mayor pro-tem’s office put together by the office of Inspector General is now complete and is in the hands of the Harris County District Attorney’s office. It’s been recommended that the report be taken to a grand jury. [...]
