The ex-mayor not only can afford, but has earned, the right to swat away pesky flies.
, you can get the TL;DR summary of the latest and likely last alleged miscreance of our outbound Mayor Steve Adler, whom a lot of politically active people in Austin simply do not like. To go into more detail: On Dec. 1, the first day of early voting for the Dec. 13 Council run-off, Adler appeared at a press conference at City Hall, where he discussed election-related matters and encouraged all to vote.
Normal sentiments expressed normally by a normal politician. What's at issue is whether Adler improperly used the resources of ATXN to produce and broadcast what could be seen as political advertising .
There are questions of law here that are actually interesting to me, and perhaps to Aleshire: How independently can city-owned media like ATXN operate without running afoul of"public funds" restrictions? Do Adler's comments really amount to an endorsement? I checked with the former state senator who shepherded the last reworking of Texas' public information and open meetings laws, and there's nothat Adler be taped and televised just because he's mayor doing mayor...
"Mayor Adler misused his position as Mayor to commandeer city staff, audio/video equipment, and website to engage in his own political endorsement of candidates," Aleshire notes in Kelly's complaint.
Yes, Steve Adler is rich AF and can pay whatever fine is levied on him, and both Qadri and Velásquez won their races, and Aleshire is doing this because he doesn't like Steve Adler. And soon we will forget all about it.
