Cost to Taxpayers
Urban Logic's contract with The City of Beaumont which allows it to profit from each approved development, along with their on-going practice of awarding high-dollar public contracts to a small group of friends and associates instead of to the lowest bidder, have cost Beaumont taxpayers millions.
