Following fire, Gilbert Building owner pushes back saying city should do more
BEAUMONT, Texas — Tom Flanagan, a developer who has purchased about 18 buildings in Beaumont, is pushing back after last Thursday's Gilbert Building fire. "If you have a house and someone pries your door open, and then they do it again, are you cited for that? Or if they break through your window, and you board it up or replace it, and they break it again, we have windows broken almost every day," said Flanagan.
