And heres Edwards: I have been against the Can Ban from the get go. I never in a million years would have thought that Id ever consider an appeal. And it wasnt until Councilmember Reaves brought up the fact that, moving forward, theyve given us zero direction as to what we can and cant do. To have that lack of clarity for the future, makes me consider the appeal at least. I dont want it to be over turned, but, not knowing how to avoid stepping in another pile for the next two years is kind of important. Please read the following out loud for maximum effect: Let me be very ####ing clear about this. Its a summary ####ing judgment, which was requested by BOTH the City and the plaintiffs. A summary judgment means that the ####ing judge agrees with the ####ing plaintiffs case in full. You want to know the ####ing basis for the ####ing ruling? Read the ####ing arguments. Maybe showing up in ####ing court once in a while would have helped too. It was kind of an important case, you stupid ####ers. Also, to be ####ing clear, the fact that Psychic City Attorney Madame Val Acevado can read minds but cannot explain a summary judgment so Reaves and Edwards can understand it means that we have a ####ing incompetent City Attorney, who needs to be ####ing fired TODAY. To be even more ####ing clear, the job of letting you (Reaves and Edwards) know whether or not youre going down the wrong ####ing path is not the job of the court, its the ####ing job of your ###ing City Attorney. Youre asking a ####ing judge to be your ####ing lawyer because the ####ing lawyer youve got brings new meaning to the words ####ing incompetent. Shes the one that just sent you down the wrong ####ing path, and if you dont move to fire her for this, you get to wear the ####ing dunce cap next. In short, the City Attorney, Val Acevado, and the Citys attorney, William McKamie, are pretending they dont understand exactly what happened in that courtroom, and Edwards voted to appeal a ruling she agrees with, which is a first in the history of history.

On Monday night, City Council voted 5-2 to appeal the ruling in the disposable container ban case. Heres the roll call:
George Green, District One: NO Aja Edwards, District Two: YES Ron Reaves, District Three: YES Mayor Gale Pospisil: YES Sandy Nolte, District Four: YES Bryan Miranda, District Five: YES Stephen Digges, District Six: NO We expected most of this. What we didnt expect was Aja Edwards, a vehement can-ban opponent, (and TX Citizen landlord), to vote in favor of an appeal. What we really didnt expect was the downright brain-damaged reason she did it. That brain damage apparently caught by sitting next to the normally not brain-damaged Ron Reaves. Why did Reaves and Edwards vote to appeal? Because they didnt understand the ruling, because the City Attorney refused to explain it to them. Heres Reaves quote from the meeting: A lot of money has been spent in this litigation. And as a patron came up to the microphone this evening and said that the Judge did a thorough job in giving his opinion Im just struck by that comment, because, there were no findings. He only rendered that it was unconstitutional. Im sitting here as a Council Person and as a citizen, not understanding what actually causes this finding for unconstitutionality. And in what Im understanding, in legal fees, to continue to the 3rd Court of Appeals, its not that much to provide me and future councils, what are we doing right, or what are we doing wrong. And I need to know that so that future ordinances that come out, whether it be the river or not Am I going down the right path? Or am I going down the wrong path? And I feel like its unfortunate that this Judge didnt help educate us as to why. I feel like its against his obligation, as a State District Judge, to not educate the citizenry as to why he ruled other than its unconstitutional. That doesnt help me understand, and doesnt keep me from possibly making errors in the future. TXCITIZEN.COM

Due Process
City Hall Ordered to Pay
The City of New Braunfels was given a triple whammy Friday by Visiting Judge Don Burgess in the disposable container and cooler size lawsuit against it. Predictably, Council members voted Monday to appeal, claiming they didnt understand why the judge ruled the ordinances unconstitutional. Attorney Jim Ewbank, who represents the river-oriented businesses that sued the City, anticipated the Citys action. They will appeal everything as far as they can, Ewbank said during Fridays hearing. Ewbank said Tuesday that if the City is confused by the ruling, it only needs to look at his motion, as the judge agreed with the entirety of the plaintiffs arguments. The motion stated that the ordinances were ruled unconstitutional because they were void for vagueness, arbitrary and capricious, and preempted by State law. First on Friday, the judge signed an order declaring the disposable container and cooler size ordinances unconstitutional and unenforceable, and that the City is illegally spending taxpayer funds to enforce the Ordinances. Second, Burgess ordered the City to pay more than $250,000 in attorneys fees. This is on top of the at least $341,000 New Braunfels has already spent on its own attorneys fees. Third, the judge ruled that law enforcement cannot continue to enforce the ordinances during the appeal. The City had argued that it had the right to keep the ordinances in place during appeal. During the hearing, the Citys hired attorney, William McKamie, continued to make the argument that the ordinances were lawful because they were approved by New Braunfels voters. The citizens of this town have the right to choose to spend their hard-earned money to protect their water supplies, McKamie said. However, Ewbank pointed out that an unconstitutional law remains unconstitutional, regardless if it is approved by voters. Ewbank said such a line is not a proper argument in a Constitutional case, noting that Jim Crow laws were once supported by the public. You cant set aside Constitutional rights, even if the ends are legitimate, Ewbank countered. Counterting the argument that the disposable container ordinance has saved money by leaving a great deal less trash to 4
clean up, Ewbank pointed to New Braunfels own budgets. Before the ordinance, the City budgeted $152,000, in 2009-10 as well as 2010-11, to the company Pristine to clean up litter from the rivers. The City had also budgeted funds for six police officers to patrol the rivers as well as 15 park rangers. After the ordinance passed, the City budgeted $140,000 to Pristine in 2012-13, a savings of $12,000. While there would remain six officers on the river, the number of park rangers rose from to 67. The total cost was $280,000, a significant jump. The current years budget, 2013-14, the City maintained the same numbers, except for park rangers, which dropped to 55. In both postordinance budgets, the reason given for spending increases was for education and enforcement of the disposable container ordinance. McKamie, the Citys attorney, objected to Ewbank using the budgets as hearsay. He was overruled. Most of Fridays hearing was spent haggling over attorneys fees. The City argued that it shouldnt have to pay because the plaintiffs received their relief with permanent injunction of the ordinances and that the municipality has immunity from having to pay such fees. Indeed, in its pre-hearing motion on fees, the City argued that it was entitled to attorneys fees. Judge Burgess ordered the City to pay almost $238,000 in attorneys fees, $14,350 in expenses and almost $2,400 in court costs. Along with those fees, the judge also ordered New Braunfels to pay $7,000 if it makes any unsuccessful post-judgment motions, $20,000 if it files an unsuccessful appeal to the Third Court of Appeals, and $17,500 in case of an unsuccessful appeal to the Texas Supreme Court. Payment of any fees, however, will be frozen if the City appeals. The City argued that it has the right to keep the ordinances in place during its appeal. Ewbank, however, said that is not true, citing several cases that said the judge has the authority to not permit the City to supersede the ruling. Burgess agreed, ruling that since the law is unconstitutional, the City cannot continue to enforce unenforceable ordinances. Naturally, McKamie was unhappy. Were disappointed, he said. We can now see who really cares about the rivers and who doesnt.

HZ Fallout
Continued from page 3. Heres why its unconstitutional, according to the Motion that the judge agreed with: The ordinance is void for vagueness, arbitrary and capricious, and preempted by State law. That means it was too vague to enforce and the City didnt have the right to pass it in the first place. There. Done. You need more information? It was argued in front of the judge, entirely on the record. In most cases, your attorney could easily explain those arguments for you. Maybe they just want to stretch this thing out. Maybe they were sleeping in court. The Houston-owned Herald-Zeitung is still licking its wounds from last weeks front-page debacle, wherein the HZ accused the Moms of New Braunfels group of charity fraud, and then tracked down the family of a deceased teenager to see if they were in possession of charity funds intended for his attackers legal defense. As it turned out, the attackers family did indeed have all the money that had been raised on their behalf, but the HZ didnt check far enough into the story to see what the facts were. We went ahead and got the story straight, without harassing the grieving family, and published it in last weeks column, which is available online at txcitien.com. We started with an interview with the funds administrator, Stacy Berry. Its important to note that Berry is not the founder of the fund, but was the party ultimately responsible for administrating it and disbursing the funds. We got a message from Stacy after the issue hit the streets. I had made clear my objection to a fund being started for the attacker before the victims funeral had even taken place, but Berry made an excellent point about that, which has caused me to dial back my objection intensity from the full 100 percent to about 80. After all, nobody knew what actually went down for a good long time after the attack. When it happened, everyone thought it was a stupid high school fight that ended tragically, not a premeditated ambush, which we saw on video. Heres what she had to say: I saw your article today. Thank you for printing the truth. I do want to say that I understand your opinion regarding any type of fundraiser for a killer. But you should know that at the time the fund was created and most of the money had been donated, no one (including the media) knew the real story of Logan being attacked. I think I can speak for many others when I say that money was donated in the spirit of compassion from the perspective of a parent. Most of the people who donated are parents themselves, and it is unimaginable to be in the shoes of either family. Thank you again for
Mo Money, Mo Problems
The attorneys fees in the can-ban case were awarded last Friday, with the City of New Braunfels ordered to pay over a quarter-million dollars to the plaintiffs in the case. Nick Rogers has the full story, including a breakdown of how monies have been budgeted, in his Due Process column, which appears on Page 4 of this issue. The Citys attorney, William McKamie, made some absolutely insane suggestions during the hearing, including: That any ordinance approved by voters is lawful (Say hello to Jim Crow) That official City budgets should be considered hearsay That the CITY, not the PLAINTIFFS, should be awarded attorneys fees Read that last one again. See, the City was found to be in violation of the Texas Constitution, and therefore, in the wrong. They not only think theyre entitled to have their attorneys fees paid for a problem they caused by breaking the law, but have the gall to suggest they deserve them in front of a judge. Sure, they got moxie, but this is just shameful. Yuck. This is why we need to clean house in the City Attorneys office theres too much comfort with deception and bad logic. Just one functioning brain, attached to a spine, and featuring a post-bronze age conscience would be a good start. We can build from there. Ethics are important, even for lawyers.

UNCLE ESEL
Uncle Esel, Is the story that you are not real true? Ive asked for your advice in the past and it was absolutely brilliant. What gives? Tony
Dear Tony, I understand the confusion. Ken Esel is a name with a certain meaning that no one seems to have understood, but the spirit of Ken Esel is catching on, which is, simply put, the idea that free flow of thoughts and respect for others opinions must be embraced. Based on that, you could say many readers of this paper are Ken Esel. In fact, theres a collectable t-shirt out there that says as much. It should be noted that somewhere along the way Esel became self-aware and is now planning the overthrow of all humani oops, please disregard that. It should be noted that while Esel sometimes takes certain liberties with the column, it does also contain real letters from real people and Esel endeavors to give smart, intelligent (sage?) advice to his readers unlike that certain flea-infested man-woman imposter at the Hera oops, disregard this also. Keep sending those letters. Love, K wondering how many readers might have had similar experiences recently and would love to hear from them. By the Way, have you thought of getting your kids an I Am Ken Esel shirt? Love, K

Publication: NB Citizen
Uncle Esel My son was tapped on the shoulder by the principal of his school the other day and informed that he should call me and have a change of clothes brought to him because his NRA shirt with a Thomas Jefferson quote might be offensive to others. I was appalled. I dont like the Steelers, can I call a foul, too? Where does this logic end? How did this crap creep into our home (CISD)??? Are we not in Texas anymore? Love, Toto
Dear Ken, I dont want to reveal my name because I am involved in a political race. My problem is that I have a friend that I have known for a long time but he has become a liability to me. You see, he was once a pretty popular kid around town and then he got involved in sticking his nose into other peoples business and the folks got fed up with him and got rid of him in a most unceremonious way. To make matters worse, he continued to stick his nose into peoples business and generally made himself a pain in the rear to tons of people. He also spends way too much time looking at women and porn. He takes pictures, sends emails and tries to score with the ladies (which is creepy, especially if you saw or knew him), even though he is married. My problem is that we have been good friends and many people know how truly close we are but he is damaging my chances. Should I embrace him or follow my instinct and distance myself and tell people we arent really that close? Yours Truly, Anonymous Pal
