SB: Planned Tuesday release of Bonnen audio may be more defense than offense by MQ Sullivan
Lawsuit headed to court that afternoon isn’t solely focused on the June 12 audio; plaintiffs are also seeking any other recordings Empower Texans may have of Bonnen and Burrows as well as documents related to this controversy
It’s all coming to a head
now, apparently.
After months of a political
fan dance that weeks ago lost the interest of even some Texas Capitol
observers, we are now told the audio of Speaker Dennis Bonnen’s controversial June 12 Empower
Texans meeting will be released Tuesday morning.
Chairman Tim Dunn’s
spokesman, Michael Quinn Sullivan, said in an email today that the full audio
will be released online around 9am Tuesday. Right around that same time,
Sullivan is also slated to appear on WBAP radio in Dallas/Fort
Worth to talk about the controversy and play clips of the audio.
Being prepared with specific
portions of the audio ready to air on the radio would suggest at least some collaboration
with the radio host, Chris Salcedo, whose show also airs on the Houston radio
station owned by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.
