Complaints against Siegel and Faddis to be heard again

Adam Haynes, who filed complaints against City Council Member Mike Siegel and AURA President Zach Faddis, has told the Austin Monitor that he will be refiling after the city’s Law Department acknowledged that notice was not sent to the correct email address (which was listed on the paperwork he submitted). Haynes alleged Siegel and Faddis committed campaign finance violations at the city’s Ethics Review Commission. The cases were heard at a Feb. 6 meeting of the commission but, due to Haynes’ absence, were dismissed without prejudice. An email from Assistant City Attorney Caroline Webster says that the preliminary hearings could be held as soon as March 26, depending on when Haynes files.
