Corrupt Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo and her former staffers will be reimbursed nearly $900,000 in legal fees related to bid-rigging charges.
Last year Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg (D) transferred the case to Ken Paxton’s office so it didn’t ‘fall through the cracks’ when she left office this year.
However, County Commissioners voted 3-1 to reimburse Hidalgo and her three former staffers $877,402 for legals fees related to the case after a separate prosecutor dropped the charges.
