Analysis

• According to the Houston Chronicle and Texas Watchdog, Miles is or has been a vendor to the University of Houston, Houston Community College and the Houston Independent School District. He arranged for an HISD trustee to take two trips to Costa Rica in 2010, according to the publications. The health care-related trips, which Miles says were paid for by the Costa Rican government, sparked a debate about disclosure policies related to HISD vendors. Miles said his company offers flood, not health, insurance for the HISD, and was trying to help the district cut costs.
