He also failed to mention the Texas Supreme Court ruled that he and his city council colleagues inserted biased, misleading language into a ballot proposition to overturn open camping. Language intended to bias voters against supporting the measure.

Greg failed to mention that he lets his advocate friends pack the city council feedback mechanism, thereby having an outsized voice on matters before the council.
