🧵 My office warned repeatedly that the City’s overtime assumptions were unrealistic, and those warnings proved accurate -- with Police, Fire, and Solid Waste now projected to exceed their overtime budgets by more than $54 million combined.

🧵 The best budget is one you can stick with. ​

Build in flexibility, allow room for fun, and adjust as life changes. ​

Consistency matters more than perfection. ​

Strong communities are built through economic empowerment.

The Alpha Kappa Omega Chapter is moving that work forward with the launch of the Build Our Economic Wealth initiative, extending access to financial wellness across our community.

Well done!

🧵 Life happens.

Build a small buffer into your budget for surprise expenses.

Even a little saved each month can help you avoid stress and debt later.

On the eve of his death, Dr. King called us to faith, service, and justice.

Great conversation with the Bayou City Breakfast Club, a respected forum of Houston leaders committed to civic dialogue. 
 
Grateful for the chance to share how our office works to strengthen accountability, transparency, and trust in Houston’s finances.

Not all expenses are equal.

Start with needs, then make room for wants.

When your spending matches your priorities, your budget works for you, not against you.

Today’s vote to misappropriate $30M from Houston’s Storm Water Fund is disappointing. But I want to acknowledge Council Members who stood up for integrity at City Hall.

My office will keep working to protect Houstonians and safeguard tax dollars. These fights are worth having.

Check this out: Is this old K-Mart causing flooding in Houston?

🧐 HELL NAH.

So why did the mayor promise to knock it down with $30 million from the restricted Storm Water Fund?

That’s illegal. Tell your Council Member that Houston has to follow the law.

Before you build a budget, know where you stand.

List your income and review last month’s spending. No judgment, just awareness.

A strong budget starts with knowing your numbers.

Had a blast cheering on our hometown Rockets and taking the first shot, earning $5,000 for the Clutch City Foundation to support programs that uplift our community.

Sports and service make a winning team! 🏀🚀 #ClutchCity

Wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas from the Controller’s Office.🎄

May this season bring joy and peace to every Houstonian. Thank you for trusting us to serve you all year long.

Renting and buying both have pros and tradeoffs.

Consider your income, savings, credit, and how long you plan to stay.

The right choice isn’t about pressure — it’s about what fits your life and budget.

Understanding your taxes saves you money. 💰

Track deductions, use free filing tools, and know your credits.

Dr. Paige’s work as a teacher, coach, college president, HISD Superintendent, and U.S. Secretary of Education left an enduring legacy of equity, accountability, and opportunity. His reforms reshaped public education and continue to impact students today.

We met with business leaders to discuss the state’s freeze on programs that help women- and minority-owned businesses compete.

We’ll keep pushing for fair rules, stronger protections, and partnerships that ensure every Houston business gets a real shot.

Holiday spending adds up fast. 🎁

Set a budget, make a gift list, compare prices, and avoid last-minute shopping.

A little planning keeps the season joyful, and your wallet on track.
