Houston is the Bayous City and while we love the many views we enjoy, we aren't fond of flooding issues that come with the territory.
What is happening with maintenance? What is the Flood Control District Proposition A on the November ballot? Does it mean a tax increase? Let's ask Emily:
Chief External Affairs Officer Harris County Flood Control District The Harris County Flood Control District is a special purpose district created by the Texas Legislature in 1937 and governed by Harris County Commissioners Court. It was created in response to devastating floods that struck the region in 1929 and 1935. Emily Woodell serves as the Chief External Affairs Officer for the Harris County Flood Control District, whose mission is to reduce the risk of flooding in Harris County, the third most populated county in the United States, with a population in excess of 4.7 million, including the City of Houston, the nation’s fourth largest city. She leads communications, precinct coordination and government affairs for the organization, ensuring outreach and engagement efforts are consistent and effective.
Prior to joining the Flood Control District, Emily worked with a Houston-based communications firm and oversaw communications, advocacy, paid media, and public engagement efforts on behalf of a range of public and private sector clients, including the Flood Control District. She brings extensive experience engaging stakeholders and managing campaigns at the federal, state, and local levels.

"Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." ~ President John F. Kennedy “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” ~ President Ronald Reagan |

With so much focus on financial health, personal and government, we need to understand the decisions that impact our every day life. Unraveling the complex and often mysterious questions of how our cities...in this case, The City of Houston, gets its money, where does it go, how does it fund city services, pensions, etc....let's go directly to the person who understand the flow of finances and has to ask difficult questions of those requesting money. WHAT DOES THE CITY CONTROLLER DO?
