Council Member Brown's Trip to Asia
The Rest of the Story

Houston, TX - These are the facts about Council Member Helena Brown's recent trip to the cities of Taipei, Beijing, and Seoul: CM Brown was invited to participate in Houston Airport System meetings in Asia, the Houston Airport System provided all the travel and lodging logistics, the Mayor approved the travel, and in the end her office scheduled her meetings, but the Mayor did everything possible to undermine and sabotage the planned trip.  Mayor Parker had no intention to cooperate in any capacity with CM Brown's efforts to serve the constituents, as Mayor Parker continues to place political expediency above the responsibilities of public office to the great disservice of the Asian community and the Houston community as a whole.

In order to address some recent allegations and rumors surrounding her recent trip to Asia, the office of the Council Member has released a comprehensive statement covering the facts surrounding the trip.  The full story may be found by following the link below.
