GALENA PARK HAS A BUDGET.GOOD LUCK FINDING IT.

That’s because the city has not posted any
documents or details of its current $15.8
million budget on its website. It has not
posted any budget documents on its website
in more than six years, a violation of state
law. Nor does its website include any third-party
audits of the city’s finances, or even
minutes from its city commission meetings
this year. Galena Park residents are
frustrated.

“I’m going to keep fighting because there’s
got to be somebody that’s going to pay
attention,” said Jackie Gonzales, a resident
of Galena Park for 45 years and president of
the town’s civic club.
