Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo announced Friday that the $17 million emergency medical shelter at NRG Park will "demobilize" after determining that the county will not need the facility to care for COVID-19 patients at this point.
The makeshift shelter was constructed earlier this month outside of NRG stadium. The county spent $17 million to build the shelter, in the event that extra hospital beds were needed during the pandemic. Hidalgo said FEMA is slated to reimburse 75% of the cost.

Two public information officers at $2012 a day, even though the contract states “contact with the news media, citizens of Harris County or governmental agencies shall be the responsibility of the county.”

The amount of wasted taxpayer money is going to be insane

tax dollars tend to get wasted when you have a columbian migrant as county judge and down low brother as mayor. wearing matching outfits and masks at a daily press conference far more important than making sound decisions.
don't forget to wear those masks yall!! $1k fines incoming on Monday.

+/-$90M. And topped out at FIVE patients.
Not to mention the work on Convention Center Blvd that has been put on hold.
