Next Wave Strategies, hired by Fort Bend County for a $345,000 COVID outreach contract,...
FILE - In this Sept. 14, 2021, file photo, a health worker administers a dose of a Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine during a vaccination clinic at the Reading Area Community College in Reading, Pa. A key government advisory panel overwhelmingly rejected Biden's plan to give COVID-19 booster shots across the board and instead recommended the extra vaccine dose only for those who are 65 or older or run a high risk of severe disease.
Next Wave Strategies, however, contends that they have complied with all requests from the auditor's office. If Next Wave Strategies does not return the money by the end of December, Elster said, the case will be turned over to the county attorney’s office for potential litigation. According to the audit, the contract awarded to Next Wave Strategies contained numerous charges that could not be substantiated. The audit alleges that Next Wave double-billed for hours, used unapproved contractors, billed for meetings that didn’t happen and produced"community leaders, community and faith-based organizations to serve as change champions to aid diffusion," that the county already had.
