The complaint filed with the Texas Ethics Commission accuses the powerful union of illegally spending more than $600,000 to fight Proposition B. SanAntonio SATX SanAntonioTX PoliceReform PoliceAccountability
News of the complaint comes as police reform group Act 4 SA is gearing up to campaign for the San Antonio Justice Charter, a measure that would decriminalize marijuana and abortion.
The complaint, filed Monday, with the Texas Ethics Commission alleges that the San Antonio Police Officers' Association made more than $600,000 in illegal donations to political entities fighting the ballot initiative known as Proposition B. In a statement, ACT 4 SA said its leadership is unsure whether SAPOA union members were aware of the $600,000 donation. In Texas, it's illegal to use union dues for political campaigns unless union members are aware and approve the donation.
Although ACT 4 SA was established after the Prop B vote, Tomas served as deputy director for Fix SAPD, the group behind the ballot measure.
