Recall Bastrop Mayor Lyle Nelson

Bastrop Mayor Lyle Nelson has been found guilty and formally reprimanded by the Board of Ethics for abusing his position to interfere in a city investigation into allegations of public funds misuse by the former CEO of Visit Bastrop, who was confirmed to have had an undisclosed, romantic relationship with him, substantiated by extensive communications (summary) and his own admission.
