The weather was perfect as the 2nd annual Mack Champ Invitational began today at @HPARD’s Memorial Park Golf Course. Over 100 youth girls and boys from around the nation are playing and I enjoyed greeting many of them. Many enjoyed playing on this exceptional course. https://t.co/xetbeVb1cQ — PolitiTweet.org

Sylvester Turner @SylvesterTurner

What is the message to the people who live in these vulnerable communities who need these Harvey $s for infrastructure improvements where the state GLO doesn’t give them a dime and HUD approves the state’s plan? Their families and their communities matter! st — PolitiTweet.org

Sylvester Turner @SylvesterTurner

Houston has faced 7 federally declared disasters since 2015. The CDBG-MIT funding was intended to pay for infrastructure to reduce flooding in vulnerable communities. The State GLO awarded the entire City zero $s as if Harvey did not happen. HUD approves the plan. Wow. st — PolitiTweet.org

Sylvester Turner @SylvesterTurner

HUD found that GLO discriminated against brown and black communities in its method of distribution of Harvey dollars. And yet HUD is approving GLO’s plan which discriminates against those communities. It just seems to me HUD’s findings and actions are conflicting. st — PolitiTweet.org

Sylvester Turner @SylvesterTurner

A state plan that takes federal $s intended for the city due to Harvey and diverts those $s to areas outside the city is now approved by HUD. For those vulnerable communities inside our city, zero $s will be coming to their communities to mitigate flooding. That’s not EQUITY. st — PolitiTweet.org

The decision to approve the @txglo Amended State Action Plan sanctions the discrimination that @HUDgov found GLO committed. #hounews https://t.co/aqucEZVnHC — PolitiTweet.org

Sylvester Turner @SylvesterTurner

But for those vulnerable communities, the net effect is the same: zero dollars will be coming to their communities for climate change, mitigation, and resilience. That is not equity in funding and is simply unacceptable. https://t.co/SW5XWHG67O — PolitiTweet.org

A state’s plan that takes federal dollars intended for the city due to Harvey and diverts those dollars to other areas is now approved by HUD albeit on technical grounds. https://t.co/TLC9adydWl — PolitiTweet.org

…and the City having experienced seven federally declared disasters since 2015. If any city desperately needed these dollars for flood mitigation and resilience, it was the City of Houston. https://t.co/L8KkSgeEB2 — PolitiTweet.org

Sylvester Turner @SylvesterTurner

Given that finding, today’s decision simply does not make sense. In the end, the City of Houston will receive zero dollars from the $4.3 billion CDBG-MIT funding despite the city and the county having incurred 50% percent of the damages from #HurricaneHarvey… https://t.co/fnTDOXwey1 — PolitiTweet.org
