Texas Watchdog's Mike Cronin was interviewed on Scott Braddock's show on News 92 FM this morning about the recent performance audit on the Houston schools' procurement practices.

The audit found numerous problems in the school district's system of buying goods and services --- echoing some of the same concerns highlighted in Texas Watchdog's reporting on a groundskeeping contract awarded to a company whose price was twice the low bid.
