🎤 LIVE from Houston City Hall — it’s HOT, it’s LOUD, and it’s getting REAL 🔥 Energy is HIGH AND INTENSE this morning as the community packs the chambers in fierce representation against the NASTY proposed city budget! Folks are fired up, and rightfully so — it’s standing room only and voices are being heard. 🔥 Controller Chris Hollins is not sugarcoating a damn thing. He laid it out plain: we’re either raising taxes, cutting services, or digging ourselves deeper into debt. Pick your poison — but the vibe in the room says the people didn’t come here to sip poison quietly. 💥 Meanwhile, Mayor John Whitmire just threw Senator Joan Huffman under the budget bus over her recent legislation that’s apparently blowing a hole in the city’s finances. Something about pension changes — details are still foggy — but what’s clear is that Whitmire and City Council are side-stepping accountability and pointing fingers. Classic! 🚨 And Controller Hollins isn’t having it — he’s calling out City Council directly for not even being briefed or looped in on a bill that directly impacts Houston’s budget. He’s holding the mic and holding people accountable. This ain’t your typical bureaucratic back-patting session. 👀 Councilmembers are looking SHOOK. You can see them scanning the crowd — and yes, we are HERE, we are LOUD, and we are TAKING UP SPACE. The people are speaking and the room is lit with tension and truth. Stay tuned. This budget battle is just heating up. 💣🔥 #HoustonBudgetWatch #CityHallTurnUp #PureJustice #JusticeChasing #freedomfighters (fb)
