Mayor's Agenda Interference Sparks Drama in Haslet

0:00On March 24th, near the end of the workday in Hazlid, Texas, Mayor Gary Hulsie called the Sheriff's Office on City Secretary Ashton over a... Dispute in the Secretary's office. No yelling or fights. Just the mayor trying to boot Ashton out while he worked on the council agenda. The council had hired a city administrator, partly because Hulsie wasn't adding member requested items to agendas on time. That day, the mayor tried stepping into the agenda process himself, sparking the clash. Ashton stood his ground respectfully, saying it wasn't the mayor's place to interfere. A Tarant County deputy showed up, talked to both, and Hulsie ruled Hulsie had no authority to kick Ashton out, calling the move a bit unorthodox. Since then, agenda making has gone smoothly with zero issues. Ashton figures the mayor made his call, even if it was waste of cheer of time. These two armed buddies, but they're both just doing their jobs without more drama, keeping City Hall drama free for now. Stay in form with Dallas News today, AI-powered updates.
