Maintaining neutrality

It was Machiavelli, considered by many to be the father of political science, who once said, “Politics have no relation to morals.” Election season always brings that point to light.

Near the close of the April 23 Boerne City Council meeting, elected leaders on the dais addressed political flyers circulating in their given districts.

While the flyers carried no mention of the group or individuals responsible for printing — and paying for — the election handbills, the message carried the names of the three men opposing Boerne’s three incumbent councilmen.
