Court blocks Comptroller's determination that Harris County defunded law enforcement
Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo in a statement Friday said the court ruling confirms that Hegar's math is wrong.
Hegar's office did not immediately respond to request for comment Friday, though the comptroller released a statement the day before the ruling saying he was disappointed with Harris County's"ongoing legal maneuvering." "Harris County has only increased the budgets for our law enforcement since I joined Commissioners Court. In fact, I initiated many of these investments," Garcia said."The comptroller should look at this order, see how future litigation will go, and withdraw this complaint. We have the facts on our side, and we have the law on our side."
