Former bus district executive director faces 14 charges

Broker Executive Cindy Howe Indicted

After Logisticare was awarded the MTP contract in the Dallas area and the ink was dry on the contract with HHSC, the public transit industry was introduced to employee Cindy Howe.

Ms. Howe’s job was

to make Texas public transit agencies feel good about contracting with a full-risk broker because she “came” from the public transit industry. Indeed, she ran a transit district in Oregon until she ran it into the ground.

Thirteen indictments were filed against her for theft and official misconduct.

HB 2136 by Ryan Guillen (D- Rio Grande City) passed in 20\11 was supposed to require background checks for broker subcontractors. Perhaps the legislation should have been required for broker executives as well.
