Councilman Ed Moore selected his friend and campaign supporter to be appointed to the newly formed All Abilities Commission, telling multiple qualified candidates that he had already chosen someone before the application period even closed. Basically told them they were wasting their time.

This is not intended to discredit the appointee - he is a wonderful contributor to Garland. But there were multiple other applicants with intensive experience relevant to this commission. Mr. Moore chose to ignore that for a favor.
