Her personal vehicle blocking deliveries, in a loading zone....and look what she uses in her City vehicle ....
Since when is a supervisor of a BS maintenance crew allowed to say her City car is an "OFFICIAL POLICE VEHICLE"?

Housnitch has it on good authority that Ms. Deborah Coleman is already under an OIG/IAD investigation for making a false report, and giving false information against an HPD officer.
LET'S SEE IF WE CAN'T BRING HER TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS ACTION TOO. WE'LL BE FILING ANOTHER COMPLAINT AGAINST HER WITH THE OIG.
(We hear she's threatened to "bury everyone in paper" if she isn't made supervisor at the new HEC center....guess what Deborah....we're gonna give you a taste of your own medicine.)
Okay, boys and girls, Housnitch has filed the complaint, but we don't believe anything will come of it.
Seems that a couple of days after filing our complaint, another document showed up on our doorstep.
Along with the document, were several e-mails to us concerning the OIG's office and some new orders issued by Chief Bradford.

I guess you haven't heard the news that the OIG's office is
nothing more than a vindication court for Lee Brown and his cronies. In
fact, it appears that YOU may have trouble filing anything with the OIG.
The rumor going around is that the OIG is now expressly forbidden from
investigating ANYTHING without prior approval from Clarence Bradford! WOW,
isn't that reassuring?
Must be that nasty mess surrounding Monique McGilbra is getting too close to the
Mayor's Office for Lee P. to be comfortable. What better way to handle it
than to tell his ABC Lackey police chief to shut down the investigation AND the
investigators.
Seems like you really didn't know the "known evil"
when you flipped
from "Anybody But Brown" to "Nobody But Brown" last
year.
Thank God this man and his circus are only 195 days from history.
We"ll take "unorganized crime" over "organized"
crime any day of the week. They are much easier to catch.
We did hear that the investigation concerning monique had the mayor ranting and raving for hours up on his floor. The mayor oughta listen to us. Now he'll just have to put up with the FEDS who are investigating EVERY contract she ever recommended.

Bradford has issued orders that NO investigations are to be conducted without HIS approval. All of the surveillance equipment has been taken away from the OIG, and in direct VIOLATION to EXECUTIVE ORDER 1-39 The OIG is to report to the Chief's legal staff and not the City Attorney, or DA. Inspectors are now gone, and even if an OIG Sergeants sees a city employee committing a crime, without his/her surveillance equipment, it's a no-go. NO ONE IS TO BE PRO-ACTIVE.
All in-take Sergeants are to take the complaint, and pass it on to the Chief's legal people for the Chief's approval before any investigation is done. Also no more investigations are to be done on anonymous tips. In establishing this office the Mayor allowed for this, in order to keep city workers from being retaliated against.
I believe you'll find the letter confirming that the OIG's office is no longer to be PRO-ACTIVE very soon on your doorstep.
P.S
Those missing DNA lab audit files? You know the ones that mysteriously "reappeared". Word here amongst HPD is that someone needs to call in the Texas Rangers. Some files are believed still "missing" while other's have been altered/replaced. (Someone should dust them for prints, but NOT any one with HPD.)

AND NOW...HERE'S THE LETTER LEFT ON THE FRONT PORCH:
NOW, SINCE BRADFORD IS TO OK ALL INVESTIGATIONS----WHO DO WE GET TO INVESTIGATE BRADFORD??? IF BROWN IS SMART (AND WE HAVEN'T SEEN THAT HE IS) HE'LL DEMAND THAT THE TEXAS RANGERS STEP IN AS SUGGESTED BY OUR WRITER, AND VERY QUICKLY DISTANCE HIMSELF FROM THE CHIEF.
We saw an article in the Chronicle about several Mayoral candidates not wanting lobbyists working political campaigns.
Seems one of the City's most highly paid lobbyist, and Mayoral consultant Dave Walden, who was lobbying hot and heavy for that Voice Over IP, has been operating/lobbying without paying his lobbying fee to the City.
But, let's be fair about them representing Sanchez this time around...word on the street has it they were told by the RNC that if they didn't represent him, after 6 yrs of representing Brown (a democrat) , then they could no longer call themselves republicans.
Wonder if we could rescind that contract because Dave wasn't legally registered to represent them? (nice dreams)
Phil B. Scheps, Director of Finance & Administration for the City, very recently commented in a luncheon with the Houston Property Rights Association, that the layoffs in Building Services were not from the lower levels, but from project managers.
REALLY??????? Then can you tell me why maintenance staff at HPD Central Command station has fallen from 32 to only 8.
Are you telling Housnitch that 24 people located there were all project managers?
GET RID OF THE TOP HEAVY ADMINISTRATION!!!!!!
WE DON'T NEED 2 CITY ENGINEERS!
SHOW ME IN THE CODE OF ORDINANCES WHERE IT SAYS WE SHOULD HAVE 2 OF THEM! I DARE YOU!
AND WITHOUT COUNCIL APPROVAL NO LESS.
&$#@*&%#@*
(to think...the Lord brought me back from an 11 week coma for this stuff. CAN I HAVE A SIGN LORD, THAT SOMEBODY IN THIS CITY CARES???????)
That's all this time around guys...tell em what you think darlins, we get tired of telling them by ourselves.......
click right there and e-mail them ALL at one time!
HOUSNITCH
