After an 8-hour meeting and extended disruption by protesters on Wednesday, Houston City Council approved a $7 billion budget for the next fiscal year, which starts in July. "I've voted on many budgets in my career. It's always easy to find fault," said Mayor John Whitmire, a former longtime state lawmaker. "Anyone can be a critic and politicize a budget. So all I'm saying is I'm proud of the budget. We were told we couldn't do it — we couldn’t balance it — by political critics.

The City of Houston plans to use federal disaster recovery funds from extreme weather in 2024 for additional emergency vehicles, generators for city facilities and its initiative to end homelessness — a departure from the way those types of funds have been used in the past and a conflict with the largest identified need in the aftermath of the storms.

Ahead of Houston City Council's vote on Mayor John Whitmire's $7 billion proposed budget, Controller Chris Hollins continued to hammer "serious financial challenges" including deficit spending, excess overtime expenditures and the specter of a credit downgrade. Hollins and Whitmire have repeatedly clashed during their 18 months in office over a range of issues, including the administration's blockbuster settlement with the firefighters' union, overtime spending and alleged ethics violations.

In a major win for Houston Mayor John Whitmire's administration, a judge in Harris County this week signed off on a settlement in a longstanding case concerning the city's spending on streets and drainage. The lawsuit began in 2019 and argued the city was short-changing voter-approved funding for a special streets and drainage fund. Whitmire reached an agreement with the plaintiffs in April to gradually ramp up the city's additional contribution to the fund.
