Bazaldua Ethics Meeting

Bazaldua Ethics Meeting

The Bazaldua ethics meeting discussed last week has started to a rocky start with Adam Bazaldua seeking to delay the Ethics Advisory Commission evidentiary hearing. He is not present for a meeting that he was aware of June 10, 2021.

“I deserve equitability,” said Dr. Pamela Grayson during the public comment hearing.

Ultimately the Ethics Advisory Commission chose to delay the meeting per a motion from Grant Schmidt.

Grayson’s complaint says Bazaldua had park rangers and police waiting on vendors who were arriving at the event. The complaint states Bazaldua was overheard saying that he does not come to South Dallas because “the risk outweighs the reward.”

Grayson argued Bazaldua’s actions are in violation of Dallas code of ethics rules stating council members must act with integrity and treat others with respect and must be responsible with taxpayer resources.
