Tempers flare over reimbursement discussions in Wimberley

Exacerbated sighs and furrowed brows were plentiful Feb. 7 as Wimberley city leaders sparred over reimbursement of a computer purchase made by Mayor Susan Jaggers.

But what started as a discussion turned into an argumentative standoff between Jaggers, council members and city staff.

At the center of debate was a desktop computer purchased by Jaggers, who wanted the city to reimburse her around $900 for it. Jaggers purchased the computer after citing that she needed a new one for city related work. The computer was to be placed in the mayor's office at Wimberley City Hall.
