Hispanics Treated Like Sewage?

In May of 2006, the workers in a Houston neighbourhood began relocating the sewer system, putting in a much needed and new 8-inch line. But just a few months into the $1.3 million project, the workers just stopped coming, meaning that even today the road is still half dug up and full of mud. The article asks the "expert" opinion of one of the local residents of the primarily Hispanic neighbourhood - who of course says it's all because of racism.

Seems more like downright incompetence to me. This sounds like something my local council would do in my predominantly white, middle-class area.

No racism here, folks, move along please.
