Mexican American Legislative Caucus files petition to depose Adam Foltz, a GOP operative who aided Chair Hunter with redistricting
MALC argues the deposition is necessary to “investigate potential violations of the Texas Open Meetings Act.”
The Mexican American
Legislative Caucus is asking a state district court judge in Travis
County to order the deposition of a GOP operative hired this year to assist
with the redrawing of Texas political boundaries.
The nation’s largest and oldest
group of its kind said the deposition is necessary to “investigate potential
violations of the Texas Open Meetings Act.”
“Specifically, MALC seeks
to depose Adam Foltz, a partisan redistricting operative employed by the
Texas Legislative Council, a non-partisan state agency that
supports the Legislature in drafting and analyzing proposed legislation, which
also manages the internal mapping tool lawmakers use to draw electoral maps,” MALC
said in a news release.
