HOUSTON (FOX 26) - Houston City Councilman Michael Kubosh was angry. He says, "There's no email that's sent to a council member ever that's confidential and private because we're elected officials."
Kubosh says that email was the first red flag that prevented him from attending a reception called by the Houston Airport System on December 19.
An invitation was sent to all council members. It was marked 'confidential and private' and 'Council Members Only'.
Kubosh says once you get nine members of Houston's City Council together it's a quorum. He says that's the majority needed to vote on an issue. The councilman says if that quorum discusses city business without notifying the public, they're violating the Texas Open Meetings Act.
"I'm not about to attend a meeting where I can be potentially charged with a crime for an opening meetings violation so I did not go," says Kubosh.
That meeting/reception, according to the email, was to discuss a company doing business with the city of Houston at Ellington Field.
The Houston Airport System sent a statement to FOX 26:
"This could've been an entrapment for all of us that are elected officials to have shown up and had a quorum there. It only takes nine of us," Kubosh said.
Kubosh says someone at the Houston Airport System should lose their job for this.
