Harris County Judge Hidalgo and Commissioner Rodney Ellis will join local leaders Tuesday morning to announce $31.6 million in American Rescue Plan Act funding, according to a news release. HTX hounews kprc2

The effort aims to place nearly 1,000 underemployed Harris County residents in high-growth building and construction, tech, and IT jobs over the next two years, and train an additional 650 residents to develop new workforce skills.

Labor leaders will outline a proposed labor-managed apprenticeship program that the Commissioners Court is expected to vote on later Tuesday. The proposed $9.1 million investment, funded by the American Rescue Plan Act, will create a partnership with Harris County and Texas Gulf Coast Area Labor Federation, according to the news release.

The program will train over 1,500 people through labor apprenticeships in the construction, public transportation, and live entertainment industries, Hidalgo says.

What’s her cut💰💰💰💰💰💰

Which they will both funnel back to themselves.

So $31.6M to train only 1500 workers? Yeah that math isn’t adding up. Much better things could be accomplished with that sum of money.

Partnering with the Texas Gulf Coast Area Labor Federation is a great move. Looking forward to this being implemented.

Hidalgo and Ellis working together? 2 of the biggest fraudsters! How much of that is being funneled back into your pockets!

Hidalgo is up to her ears in election fraud investigations by the Texas Rangers. She’ll find third world governance is for third world 💩holes.
