HOUSTON – A Washington Post report says Houston Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee steered millions of tax dollars to the university where her husband worked.
 
The report says Jackson Lee helped send more than $5 million to the University of Houston while her husband was vice president of student affairs.
