Houston Chronicle: Lawsuit Accuses Businesses of Fraud in Harvey Relief Work

Houston mayoral candidate and attorney Tony Buzbee has filed a lawsuit on behalf of two companies that allege they were fraudulently listed as subcontractors by two companies that later secured millions of dollars for Hurricane Harvey relief work from the city of Houston.

Filed Tuesday in Harris County, the action alleges that Blessed Enterprises and A-Status Construction were unaware that they were listed as minority-owned subcontractors by Burghli Investments and Tegrity Houston, which each received $66 million from the city to help rebuild or rehabilitate homes affected by the storm.
