“We had a city administration, conspiring with the city attorney to trick us into a vote based on partly false charges, and then we had the same conspirators lie to us that Dalal was insisting on a rushed agreement when he was not,” Trammell said.

In response to a tweet sharing Trammell’s prepared remarks, Stoney — apparently reacting to implications his administration was involved — called it “Trump level #alternativefacts.”

Dalal resigned last week shortly after an investigation is said to have documented bullying behavior toward his staff, high employee turnover and retaliatory behavior, among other problems. A lawyer representing Dalal has questioned the accounts.

The council had commissioned the investigation in April after members of Dalal’s staff arrived en masse at the City Council’s office suite to deliver a letter detailing their concerns with his management.

During his tenure, his office conducted hundreds of investigations and audits, ranging from mundane reviews of how employees used city vehicles to a politically explosive report that a city department head was overseeing construction of a church on city time on behalf of Jones. The consistent flow of sometimes-surprising revelations brought Dalal attention from residents and officials.
