Paid articlePaidQuick Glance: Houston Firefighter Deal to Exacerbate Financial Challenges, Controller Cautions
- Houston plans to sell $650 million in bonds to settle a firefighters’ pay dispute, which the city’s chief financial officer warns will increase the annual budget shortfall by as much as 75%.
- The fourth-largest US city will need to sell so-called judgment bonds to cover a settlement that Mayor John Whitmire struck with the firefighters’ union earlier this month, City Controller Chris Hollins told reporters Tuesday.
- The new debt will expand the city’s “structural budget shortfall” to as much as $280 million a year from an estimated $160 million to $200 million in the current cycle, he added.
- Hollins did not provide specific recommendations for revenue increase but emphasized the need for city leaders to consider implementing a trash-collection fee for residents.

Quick Glance: Legal Battle Over Texas Immigration Law Intensifies Again
- A federal appeals court issued a ruling late on Tuesday that once more halts Texas from apprehending migrants suspected of unlawfully entering the United States, shortly after the Supreme Court implemented the stringent new immigration law.
- Earlier in the day, a split decision by the Supreme Court granted Texas permission to enforce a statute granting law enforcement extensive authority to detain migrants believed to have illegally crossed the border while the legal conflict regarding the provision unfolds.
- Opponents view the legislation as the most extreme effort by a state to regulate immigration since the passage of an Arizona law over a decade ago, parts of which were invalidated by the Supreme Court.
- The dispute over the immigration statute in Texas is among several legal clashes between Texan officials and the Biden administration concerning the extent to which the state can monitor the Texas-Mexico border and deter unauthorized border crossings.
