The subterranean Austin city council runoff for the Place Four seat being vacated by Betty Dunkerly poked its head up this week when Laura Morrison, who led the voting in round one, criticized city leaders for awarding a contract to retool the Green Water Treatment Plant without sufficient public input.
The decision is being rushed through the council, she charged.
Morrison’s opponent, Cid Galindo, immediately accused her of trying to stand in the way of progress and said, “delay is not the way we’re going to get things fixed in this city.”
