FacebookTwitterEmail
Last July, Greg Brockhouse submitted a massive open-records request with the city of San Antonio.
In anticipation of workforce development and public-transit proposition campaigns he planned to oppose, the former councilman wanted to be armed with as much information as possible on related communications from Mayor Ron Nirenberg and his staff members.
Eight months passed and Brockhouse received no documents from the city.
So, last Thursday, Brockhouse, who is currently challenging Nirenberg for mayor, fired off a press release threatening to sue the city over its lack of transparency.
