It's that time.

Lock and load.

The Michael Derry Show is on the air. Legendary engineer Bob Jones, along with Alan Watson, sued the city of Houston for not funding drainage.

You might have noticed that water stands longer and higher than it did years ago.

That's because the city has neglected its infrastructure. You can only imagine where they spent the

money. And on whom? Well, in 2010, Anise Parker was mayor, and Stephen Costello, a prominent engineer in town, was on city council.

And there was a movement called Renew Houston.

And the best part, the politicians can divert a single cent. I'm voting for

Prop 1 because it's time to draw the line on deficit spending. The politicians can't divert a cent.

Bob Jones, you filed a lawsuit against the City of Houston because they did, in fact,

divert quite a few cents, correct?

That's correct.

Do you have an estimate on how much they diverted?

Well, I absolutely do.

To start with, there are three funding components,

11.8 cents, the ad-lorn tax, all the metro regional mobility money,

and a drainage fee. We filed suit on the 11. mobility money, and a drainage fee.

We filed a suit on the 11.8 cents, and today that fund has been shorted about $110 million
