As we know, the city is suing the attorney general of Texas claiming that personal emails involving the mayor and city council officials that pertain to city business should not be subject to disclosure to the public under state law.
The attorney general ruled that they are subject to disclosure after a citizen requested access to the documents.
Now the city is using our taxpayer money to fight the public’s right to see the documents.
The situation might change after the election tomorrow. The mayor and at least two of the city representatives will not be re-elected to their posts because of term limits. We will have a different city council and mayor.
I hope that the new council stops the lawsuit.
Then we should learn more about how city hall got torn down and the ball park deal was created. I suspect that the lawsuit is not about principles, misguided as they might be. Instead it appears that these people have something to hide.
We might know soon.

Wilson told the EP Times everything was done “appropriately to the best of our ability.”
Interesting choice of words.

In the end that may prove to be the point.
Maybe the city manager was over her head and did not know how to do things right.
