Mayor Turner Lied When He Claimed to Not Know That Barry Barnes Was Part Owner of Harbor Venture Group, LLC


AUBREY R. TAYLOR: "Do you know these two cat's? Well, the guy with the arrow pointing to him is Mayor Sylvester Turner's long-time former law partner by the name of Barry Barnes. You know, the same former law partner, Mayor Sylvester Turner tried to give $6.7 million dollars in Hurricane Harvey relief money to back in 2018. And the only reason why Mayor Turner wasn't successful was because the deal fell apart ant the state of Texas ended up taking over the program."

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

If you take a moment and look at the document below, you will clearly see the name Barry M. Barnes. listed as Member, Harbor Venture Group, LLC, that's date for February 23, 2021. Why is this significant? Well, this document was found on (PAGE 21) OF THE APPLICATION ELIGIBILTIY CERTIFICATION (notarized) section of the 2021 Multifamily Uniform Application related to the $15 Million dollar project that Mayor Sylvester Turner ordered Tom McCasland to fund. Now, according to published reports, Mayor Sylvester Turner claimed to not know that Barry Barnes, his former long-time law partner was a partial owner until it was reported by the Houston Chronicle. Why did Mayor Turner lie? You can (CLICK HERE) and go to (PAGE 21) and look at the document that proves that Mayor Sylvester Turner, lied straight through his teeth.

AUBREY R. TAYLOR: “That guy you see above on the far left is Tom McCasland. Now, in case you haven't heard, Tom has been fired from his position as the City of Houston Housing Director – but I have never been more proud of anyone than I am of Tom for stepping forward and telling his truth. I am also very proud of Bill King, for his work, City of Houston Controller Chris Brown calling out Mayor Sylvester Turner. And I can’t say enough about At-Large #3 City Council Member Michael Kubosh for his courage and willingness to always step forward and push back against what appears to be blatant corruption at Houston City Hall under Mayor Sylvester Turner’s administration. Now, according to an email I received from Bill King, "What McCasland did not tell Council was that the project Turner ordered him to fund was partially owned by Turner’s long-time, former law partner, Barry Barnes. He later told the Houston Chronicle editorial board that he did not know Barnes was a partial owner until that was reported by the Chronicle. That is a little hard to swallow because Barnes’ name appears multiple times on the project’s State application."

AUBREY R. TAYLOR: "The document you see above is (77) seventy-seven pages and related to the project Mayor Sylvester Turner ordered Tom McCasland to fund, according to published reports. Now, for all of you who don't know, this particular project was partially owned by Mayor Sylvester Turner’s long-time, former law partner, Barry Barnes. Now, Mayor Sylvester Turner told the Houston Chronicle editorial board that he didn't even know that his former law partner Barry Barnes was even a partial owner until it that fact was revealed by the Houston Chronicle. Anyways, you can (CLICK HERE) and review this document for yourself. And by doing so, you will clearly see that the name Barry Barnes appears in the "STATE APPLICATION" several times."


AUBREY R. TAYLOR: “I have always admired the work of Bill King, a former city of Houston Mayoral contender, and columnist for the Houston Chronicle. I received the “PUBLIC POLICIY DISCUSSION” you see published below from Bill King via email. I am sharing it in its entirety because, I believe it will help you to better understand what’s going on at Houston City Hall.”

The Cost of Nationalizing Local Elections

BY BILL KING

Another day, another bid rigging scandal in Houston. This one was so bad that even the City of Houston Housing Director, Tom McCasland, who has largely turned a blind eye to Turner’s blatant patronage regime, could not stomach it.

At Tuesday’s meeting of the City Council’s Housing and Community Affairs Committee, McCasland dropped the political equivalent of an atomic bomb by directly accusing Turner of rigging a competition for Harvey relief funds earmarked to support affordable housing. You can listen to his presentation at the meeting here, beginning at about 36:00.

According to the excellent reporting by Mike Morris and Dylan McGuinness at the Houston Chronicle, Turner overruled the recommendation of McCasland’s department and ordered him to direct $15 million to a subsidized housing project in Clear Lake. They reported that the project ranked eighth of the twelve projects McCasland’s staff evaluated. The $15 million dollars will result in 88 affordable units at an average cost of $170,500 per unit. The Housing Department had recommended four other projects that would have provided 362 affordable units at cost of $44,800 per unit.


At a press conference, Turner claimed that McCasland had not expressed concerns about the bid process to him before Tuesday’s meeting. But McCasland delivered a stack of emails and memos to the committee that showed Turner was blatantly lying and, in fact, McCasland had detailed the problems with the proposed project to Turner for months.1

What McCasland did not tell Council was that the project Turner ordered him to fund was partially owned by Turner’s long-time, former law partner, Barry Barnes. He later told the Houston Chronicle editorial board that he did not know Barnes was a partial owner until that was reported by the Chronicle. That is a little hard to swallow because Barnes’ name appears multiple times on the project’s State application.


BARNES & TURNER IN 2018

That application also clearly discloses that Barnes’ company will be paid a $400,000 up-front development fee, even though on the application Barnes admits that he nor his company have any previous development experience (p. 270). Secretary of State records obtained by Morris and McGuinness show Barnes’ company was only formed a couple of weeks before the application for funding was submitted.

Many of you will recall that in 2018 Turner attempted to direct $6.7 million of Harvey relief money to Barnes for title work on homes to be repaired. However, that scheme largely fell apart because the City was so incompetent at distributing the funds, only a handful of deals were closed before the State took that program over.

Turner’s scheme bares an eerie resemblance to County Judge Lina Hidalgo’s recent vaccine bid rigging scheme where her political staff overruled the recommendations of the medical experts to direct an $11 million contract to Democratic political operatives.

In both cases, these “progressives” had no qualms about taking funds earmarked to help ordinary citizens – in one case to get vaccines to underserved communities and in the other to provide affordable housing – and callously redirecting them for political and patronage purposes. The losers are ordinary Houstonians, many of whom put their trust in these two elected officials by voting for them.

For years Republicans and Democrats have voted for local candidates, claiming to share their "conservative" or "progressive" values. Frequently, their support is based on the candidates’ positions on issues like abortion, climate change, gun laws or some other issues over which local elected officials have little power.

But as the old adage goes, “there are no Democratic or Republican potholes.” By voting for candidates that share their “values” or because of their party affiliation, partisans have enabled the corrupt and incompetent administration which has increasingly come to dominate our local governments that is undermining Houston’s quality of life.

Perhaps the Houston Chronicle editorial board’s scathing condemnation of Turner for this smelly deal marks a turning point. It certainly stands in stark contrast to their glowing endorsement of Turner in 2019, which compared charges of corruption in his administration to urban myths and lauded him for his “progressive heart.”

Perhaps in the future we can stop nationalizing local elections and instead judge local candidates on the basis of whether they are prepared to take on the mundane work of fixing roads, protecting us from dangerous criminals, keeping people’s homes from flooding, and responsibly managing local tax dollars.

Note 1 – Hat tip to my good friend and Kingwood flood watchdog, Bob Rehak, for obtaining the copy of McCasland’s document from the State. Bob also wrote about the controversy on this blog.























We Must Make It Our Business to Put People Over Politics During the 2022 Midterm Election Cycle All Across the State of Texas

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

What we're about to see on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, in Harris County, Texas is a very close election between the "2022 DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES" and the "2022 REPUBLICAN NOMINEES," if you ask me. How can I say this? Well, because there's not going to be any straight-ticket voting in the 2022 Midterm Election. Secondly, the Harris County Elections Administrator won't be able to flood the mailboxes of registered voters with unsolicited mail-ballot applications. Thirdly, there won't be any 24-hour voting. Fourthly, there won't be any drive-thru voting. And finally, the skyrocketing crime and alleged corruption in Harris County, Texas is going to be a huge motivating factor for registered voters to get off the couch and skedaddle to the polls.

MLK Parade Foundation

There is but One Race, and that is The Human Race. This message was articulated very clearly by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a Visionary who saw things from a different perspective. Almost Forty Years later, we now see those things, and we will strive to incorporate those things into our everyday lives in the knowledge of “Change Begins With Self”


AUBREY R. TAYLOR: "Now is the time when our love for America must prevail. It is incumbent upon us to elect "PUBLIC SERVANTS" who understand that they work for the people. We need "ELECTED OFFICIALS" in office who love "OUR CONSTITUTION" and the ideals that our nation was founded upon by our forefathers. We must endeavor to "PUT PEOPLE OVER POLITICS" and do what's best for America during this crucial moment during the history of our great nation."

Nominating the Wrong Candidates on "SUPER TUESDAY" Could Have Disastrous Consequences in the November 2022 General Election in Harris County

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

Make no mistake about it, who the people of Harris County, Texas choose to give another term to in 2022 must be about substance, job performance, judicial temperament, competence, and whether or not our members of the judiciary are following the law with their rulings. And that being said, in the upcoming 2022 Midterms, it is incumbent upon the voters of Harris County to evaluate the job performance of each and every sitting "ELECTED OFFICIAL" on a case-by-case basis and not as a group based on their political party affiliation, ethnicity, or gender.
