Houston Chronicle, by staff Posted By: Liberty7- Thu, 11 Mar 2010 01:14:16 GMT With the Metropolitan Transit Authority embarking on a massive five’line light rail construction binge, the timing couldn’t be worse for the eruption of an agency scandal and the ouster of its top lawyer. Unfortunately, that’s what new Mayor Annise Parker will have to deal with in the coming weeks as investigators from the district attorney’s office probe accusations that a Metro employee shredded unspecified documents. This on top of the fact that in Parker’s first three months in office, she’s also in the process of finding new chiefs for the police and fire departments.
