Texas Mayor, Deputy Resign After Spending Taxpayer Money to Attend Michelle Obama Event - ntknetwork.com/texas-mayor-de…
Thomas defended the expense to the Dallas-Fort Worth NBC affiliate. “We don’t get paid a salary, but … we are entitled to be reimbursed for our expenses.”
Hayes added that the city manager approved the reimbursement, which “came from a $10,000 public relations fund that allows council members to attend events for educational purposes.”

“It doesn’t specify what we can do and where we can go. But it’s set aside for us to go and learn,” Hayes said of the fund, according to the Dallas Morning News.

The two resigned after the allegations were made public, but before a city council meeting could take place to address them. According to Hayes, they “were not going to put our fate in [the council’s] hands.”
Instead, the two filed to run for re-election last week.
