Wave To Del Monte, Houston

Okay, I'll admit that this is the first I've seen of this story -- I just haven't been paying attention apparently.

I don't get a good sense of everything that went down from this article. Something seems missing (ah, our Chron!). Does anyone know what's really going on here?

Because wooing big corporations to your city is done all the time, and I'm curious if this is another one that Mayor Pothole and the Ada! bloc on council managed to screw up, or if there were legitimate concerns (even screwballs can serve the public good on occasion).
