Cities
Cities where I am actively investigating local government transparency, public funds, and leadership conduct.
Italy, Texas
Known locally as The Biggest Little Town in Texas. Hometown of both my life and journalism career. The city has a long history of leadership issues, infrastructure problems, water quality concerns, and a lack of transparency.

Goodlow, Texas
One of the smallest incorporated communities in Navarro County. I started asking questions due to local property disputes and court cases involving public officials. I later discovered that the city has not completed its annual audit obligations since 2001.

Hubbard, Texas
Questions about why cameras were not permitted at a Town Hall meeting about the upcoming datacenter project led to me being blocked from the city's Facebook page. The city has a history of municipal theft and has been under scrutiny for its handling of public funds.

Seven Points, Texas
Seven Points caught my attention after seeing a news story about the city failing to pass its budget in 2025. Attending my first council meeting sent me down a rabbit hole I never expected. All latest controversey here seems to surround the Police Department.
