Texas gave $5 million in Hurricane Harvey disaster aid to Brenham, citing the small city’s “proximity to the coast” as a risk factor for flooding. It is 102 miles inland.
Port Aransas, where Harvey made landfall, got $0.
New: Texas disbursed $1B in federal Hurricane Harvey aid.
We found it disproportionately went to inland counties with less damage than coastal ones that bore the brunt of the storm — and are most at risk for stronger hurricanes fueled by climate change.⬇️

The Texas executive branch just vetoed lawmakers’ and legislative branch staff salaries because legislators haven’t passed the voter suppression bill. This pandering to the idea that there was massive voter fraud has gone so far it defies logic, constitutionality, and patriotism.

Harris County residents, especially the most vulnerable among us, must be centered in everything we do, including major investments in our region’s transportation. Thankful @USDOT has paused the I-45 expansion project, providing us the opportunity to go back to the drawing board.
