Flowers defends Flock, says satire misunderstood

Flock declines to answer Bulletin questions

Bandera City Council member Jeff Flowers released a second public letter Friday, May 22 defending his earlier comments regarding the city’s canceled Flock Safety camera program, saying critics had mistaken satire for literal policy proposals and denying rumors of any financial connection to the vendor.

The letter follows Flowers’ May 13 statement, The Bandera Declaration of Digital Independence, released one day after the Bandera City Council voted 3-2 to terminate the city’s agreement with Flock Safety Systems, a license plate reader company.
