So it was Sylvester Turner's last city council meeting.

Thank God yesterday

And the last thing he wanted to do this is his legacy is the companies that he gave contracts by kicking

Pappas out of the airport and there will be lawsuits over this and hopefully there'll be criminal investigations and hopefully he goes to prison.

Although this isn't the biggest crime he committed, there's just a lot of money at stake.

So for the last three weeks he has put on the agenda an item to

amend for airport concessions. A concession a license at the airport, is a license to print money.

All four of those projects were bid with a sample contract line termination for convenience.

That meant that the city's airport director could at any moment kick you out.

And the reason for that is look you're not paying me my bribes on a monthly basis.

I'll have my airport director Mario Diaz who will be gone I think the first week whip mires and

office I'll have my airport director kick you out there you better my bribes need to

show up throw in some gift cards too.

All four contracts include the same termination for convenience.

The basis upon which the contract can be ended is for convenience. The basis upon which the contract can be ended is for convenience.

Pretty low standard. That means the airport director at the mayor's direction because

he serves at the mayor's pleasure and he can kick you right out.

So Turner wanted to change that

the airport director

the airport director which is basically the next mayor. I want it to be that they can't be

terminated by the city's airport director. They have to be able to only be terminated by City Council.
