[Raquel Hernandez Boujourne] Our exclusive interview with Raquel Hernandez Boujourne (R) was one that provides both us and the views with a certain level of enlightenment when it came to how Harris County funds not only tend to get misused, but how the those who according to Raquel Hernandez Boujourne walk a very fine line between wasteful spending and self-enrichment. It should be noted that she did a great job of articulating how the tax dollars of Harris County residents were used to fund Commissioner Adrian Garcia of Precinct 2’s cost heavy adult baseball game instead of utilizing those same funds to enhance the county’s much needed infrastructure repair along with other hard line social issues that the residents Harris County tend to raise huge concerns about.
Raquel Hernandez Boujourne is not only confident, but competent as not only an owner of a construction firm, but she’s also clear-sighted when it comes to how to ensure that the fiscal responsibility of Harris County should be held in check for the betterment of Harris County residents. She’s also exceptionally knowledgeable when it comes to the bidding process which gives her first-hand experience of what it’s like to not only bid on county projects, but how those projects are contractually awarded.
