Have the Round Rock folks seen this? Didn't this guy just barely win this last May?

Round Rock Mayors Law Firm Netted Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars in City Contracts

I think his firm had these contracts for a long time. Way before he was elected. Probably just more media over blowing everything.

Except he is responsible for the part of the firm that does the collections. There does appear to be some conflict.

To me the bigger issues are that the disclosure forms were filed the day of the vote. Generally when you have to recuse yourself for the involvement he has (the article ignored the state law that mandates this), you have to completely be recused from any discussion whatsoever. And this was all discussed outside of council by somebody....

Additionally, he claims to not be a partner (the article discusses how the website even changed after they started asking questions), but a very simple google search shows him presenting himself as a partner at other City Council meetings (different cities) in order to get or secure new business.

Having a conflict is not uncommon, but at least if you follow the disclosure laws you protect yourself from this. It makes it look like Round Rock didn't look at other companies and just hired his. It looks bad for the City.

Morgan is a good Dude for Tech grad. I don't think there is anything foul going on there. He company collects from people who do not pay their bills to government entities.

One of the people that went to the media with this has been on the court house steps 5-6 times for not paying. He does not like Morgans company and is just stirring things up. Just pay your taxes and his company will never bother you.

Sweet thread bump bro.

Round Rock/Wilco politics are under intense pressure from self proclaimed leftist "activist". These activist are doing a better job of shuttling people to the polls and spreading fear about the conservative nature of Round Rock. Never mind that RR is consistently ranked high in the "best places to live in Amercia" lists or that it's shown steady economic growth while updating infrastructure and encouraging new businesses to make RR their home.

If it's not broken, don't try to fix it just for the sake of change.
