An outside attorney has forwarded a complaint against McKee-Rodriguez to the Ethics Review Board. Meanwhile, the District 2 Councilman has reluctantly approved the same project he was accused of unethically trying to derail.
Ethics complaint against councilman moves ahead, as does semi-truck dealership plan he tried to stop through trickery
“As I promised to my neighbors, I would like to convey the spirit of sadness and lost hope that they have expressed, as I make this motion to approve these nasty little items,” McKee-Rodriguez said.His council colleagues complied and voted to bring a 35-acre property at the corner of Interstate 10 and Weichold Road, just outside Loop 1604. The property is fully within city limits, which gives it the zoning necessary to build a new Doggett Freightliner dealership.
McKee-Rodriguez said it had been a “last resort” to stop a project that had been hanging over the neighbors' heads for more than a year.Oscar Zepeda specifically accused the East Side councilman of violating the city’s ethics code by damaging public confidence and impeding Doggett’s private interests.
When KSAT contacted him again on Friday, the councilman said he planned to file a response and would wait until the hearing to comment further.“I don’t know how someone files an ethics complaint that wasn’t involved,” Brown said Thursday. “I mean, they don’t know all the facts. So I will be supportive of the council member during that process.”
