I intentionally misspelled it to troll whomever ...

Irony is a town settled by Germans with a guy named French in the mayoral elections.

I have not followed the news from NB, but some of my friends in the area are gereizt over how the runoff was done and how it violated city charter. Can any of you wurst eaters explain what in the black forest is going on over there?

Yes, yes. Quite the case of political intrigue there. Quite.

Geez it's this

https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2026/05/09/a-significant-mistake-new-braunfels-mayoral-race-heads-to-runoff-after-results-announcement-conflicted-with-state-law/

Mayoral race, 4 candidates on the ballot

One guy gets 49%

2d place guy gets 38%

City declares 1st guy the Winner

But constitution requires runoff. Ooops

So there will be a runoff. Whoop dee doo

There. That's the story. Glad OP had so much fun not saying this

Guy with the most votes is a recent transplant who wants to lock the door behind him. Never met him but seems like a DB from his electoral campaign.

Whatever, when I was growing up in NB in 80s/90s the population was 20k; that ship sailed long ago and it is what it is at this point.

Why do half the people who say the name of that town mispronounce it? It's really quite something.

New Braunfels sucks now. Everything about it sucks. The people. The politicians. The traffic. I can trace it back all the way to Mayor Popsicle (Pospil or something like that). I'm counting the days until I can get the hell out of here.

NB fired their city attorney over this last night. She didn't catch it until an outside party brought it to the city's attention. They have a city charter rule on the books for 30 years that is conflict with state rules.
