No running water, no sewerage lines, and impassible streets are all conditions that dozens of families in Prarie View say they’ve been subjected to for years despite paying city taxes.
Those on the city council blame it on budgetary mistakes and a dysfunctional municipal government, but now some city leaders are promising that things are about to change.
He adds that with years of nothing being done, he’s used his own money to have some of the streets paved and has installed water lines for himself and a few others nearby. Jackson has been in the seat for one year. He says before he took the position, there was a water and sewerage project in the works under the former Mayor David Allen in 2019, but it was stopped after it was revealed that money from the project was coming from the wrong part of the budget.
We spoke with former Mayor Allen who is now a Position 1 Councilman. He admits to the error and says he tried to amend the budget several times so the project could continue, but the council wouldn’t pass the vote.“The city council has not been functioning. Unfortunately, [due to] some of the things with the current mayor and city council, they haven’t been able to have a meeting. Our first meeting was a month ago,” Allen said.
