“Have a good day.” That’s all Rosita Hernandez would say as she and Florence Watkins left court.

On Friday, they agreed to 10 years of deferred adjudication each. They must also pay back $144,000 they gave themselves in unauthorized bonuses.

“…Ready to put this behind her, move on with her life,” said Watkins’ attorney Chip Lewis.

But before prosecutors would sign off on the deal, they demanded Watkins and Hernandez testify under oath about the others charged in the bonus scandal.

The pair testified that neither Christopher May nor Teresa Orta knew that anything improper was going on.

It took prosecutors just five minutes to drop the charges.

“People prayed for me, my church, my family, it’s just awesome they stood by me we just continued praying,” said Orta.

“Thank God. That’s all I have to say. Thank God, thank my attorney,” said Mays.

The two have already lost their jobs in the mayor pro-tem’s office. Now cleared, they will probably have to give back the bonus money they received.

As for Hernandez and Watkins, 11 News asked prosecutors how they thought they could dole out $209,000 in bonuses without getting caught.

“Isn’t greed one of the seven daily sins? People want money. That’s why they started giving themselves bonuses. It worked one time and then they thought they could do it again and again and it worked and it worked and it worked,” said Harris County prosecutor Don Smyth.

But why did it work?

Orta’s attorney blames then Mayor Pro-Tem Carol Alvarado, who was in charge.

“It’s a shame that her political aspirations took the place of her fulfilling her duties for the City of Houston and the taxpayers,” said Orta’s attorney,William Van Buren.

“I feel like some individuals broke my trust and took advantage of the system that we had in place in the pro-tem’s office and betrayed me and the taxpayers of Houston,” said Alvarado.

A scandal that shook Houston City Hall wrapped up with two people punished, and two others walking out free.
