    In hosting the wedding and traveling internationally, Adler said he broke neither his own order or those established by Gov. Greg Abbott.

    But at the time, the city was recommending people not gather in groups of more than 10, and the day after Adler’s departure, Austin’s health authority warned that “it’s important that we drive the (COVID-19) numbers down in advance of Thanksgiving.”
    As he pressed the public to help stop the spread of the virus in recent weeks, Adler had not previously disclosed details of his private actions. He gave no indication in his Facebook video that he was outside the city as he discussed Austin’s rising number of cases and reviewed the number of hospital patients.

    In an interview this week with the American-Statesman, the mayor said he and his family put hours of consideration into how to hold an intimate event and vacation as safely as possible. He said he consulted with interim health director Dr. Mark Escott prior to the wedding at the Hotel St. Cecilia, just east of South Congress Avenue, and established rules to ensure guests’ safety. The 20 attendees had to undergo a rapid COVID-19 test and maintain social distancing, he said.

    Adler added that masks were distributed, although he acknowledged that guests were “probably not” wearing them all the time.

    One can only hope that the hypocrisy of these wankers is remembered by their political opponents.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Oh, have no doubt that it will be. Their future opponents are smiling already.

        You were warned.

          @George-K said in "Stay at Home" (unless you're on vacation like me):

          established rules to ensure guests’ safety.

          Wouldn't it be nice if we could really have such magic rules?

            Didn't the Denver mayor do the same thing? (Maybe already covered on this forum).

            Never amazes me how "out of touch" some politicians can be.
