VICIOUS PITBULLS WILL KEEP THE MEDIA AWAY!


THE DOGS RUN THAT STREET!


It’s no wonder you haven’t seen any member of the media walking up to Sergio Gonzalez’s door and knocking while asking him for a comment. He’s the former Safe Clear driver who allegedly hit and killed a Houston couple according to HPD. So back to the orginal qustion – why haven’t you seen reporters knocking on his door? Because there are several disgruntled pitbulls in his yard and just about every other neighbor’s yard on his street. I made a stop by there in hopes of at least knocking on Gonzalez’s door. As I walked towards his door a pitbull bolts out of a neighbors yard and charges me. Scared to death I just pretended to ignore the dog. It worked. The foaming mouth canine eventually just walked away. But it was mind blowing to see more than a half dozen houses on this one east Houston street with an average two pitbulls in their yards barking like crazy. Why only pitbulls? It was unreal. What was more disturbing – there were small children in the area riding by on their bikes. Just imagine if one of those dogs got free – it’d be another news story that no one could cover because the dogs run that street. Just an Insite moment I needed to share. Please lock up your dogs!

CITY WORKERS: THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE IS NOW ON A WITCH HUNT!

INVESTIGATORS ARE EVEN TRYING TO COZY UP TO US ON SMOKE BREAKS!

‘Some’ Houston city hall employees say it has become nerve racking on their jobs as investigators from The Harris County District Attorney’s office continue to just hover around their offices. This comes weeks after the indictment of several city workers in the bonus-gate scandal. Employees tell the Insite it has put everyone on edge and it makes it almost impossible to conduct daily business without looking over their shoulders. They say investigators seem to be on a fishing expedition rather than a well organized investigation at this point. Those workers from the D-A’s office according to sources are requesting a long list of random documents on any and all council offices from campaign finance reports to travel documentation. It’s the workers perception that the district attorney is trying to turn simple mistakes or lost paper work into criminal activity. I’m told it’s those same d-a investigators who have been spotted everywhere from the city secretary’s office to human resources going over applications and council manuals. Just what are they looking for now? Workers say it appears they have no clear purpose except to conduct a witch hunt. Some of the d-a’s workers have even been seen attempting to casually interject themselves into city employees’ conversations during their smoke breaks outside of the annex building. Unidentified workers also say smoking appears to be their tactic to try and relax employees in order to get information out of them. I’m told workers are so nervous it takes an exaggerated amount of time to fill out simple expense reports and even take time off. Those workers want to make sure every ‘t’ is crossed and every ‘i’ is dotted. The Insite recently spoke with lead attorney Don Smyth with the district attorney’s office who was very tight lipped about his investigation. He seems only willing to talk about my coverage of Enron at the federal building. But when it comes to city hall – all he will say is that their investigation is continuing and they want to know if the bonuses throughout city government are being handled according to state law and city policy. As far as who he’s investigating and what his team of probers are looking for remain a closely guarded secret. That’s if they truly have a clear target in mind besides bonuses. Just the Insite sharing some Insite!
