Four days after a massive fire at a recycling facility broke out, the City of Houston said it is helping foot the bill.
"We want the bad guys... and we will find them." In his first 30 days, Mayor John Whitmire said his priority is to go after violent criminals, and that doesn't mean stopping at Houston city limits.
William-Paul Thomas, the former aide of previous Houston mayor Sylvester Turner, was found guilty back in 2022 after admitting to taking a cash bribe to help establishments operate without the proper COVID-19 requirements.
John Whitmire is the City of Houston's 63rd mayor and while he has made promises about the future of the city, ABC13 looks at what lies ahead for his tenure.
Currently, according to our ABC13 Neighborhood Safety Tracker, homicides are down by about 20%. Other crimes are down, but not by much.
During halftime, the Texans honored the 62nd mayor of Houston with the 2023 Inspire Change Changemaker award for his dedication to the City of Houston and its community.
