Sharp divisions over the city's canceled Flock Safety camera program resurfaced during the June 23 Bandera City Council meeting as two council members criticized Mayor Denise Griffin for remaining silent following recent reporting by The Bulletin and questioned whether Councilman Jeff Flowers should face sanctions over a pair of public letters defending the technology.

Council members Deanna McCabe and Tammy Morrow raised concerns after The Bulletin published emails obtained through an open records request showing city officials continued advancing the Flock Safety program despite growing public opposition and concerns from council members.

The discussion also centered on two letters Flowers published following the council's May 12 vote to terminate the city's agreement with the automated license plate reader company.
