Suppose we should note the city executed a search warrant on the Austin Convention Center this morning, but that’s about all they’re saying. The city just held a press conference where they confirmed this; the search comes in the aftermath of former director Robert Hodge’s dismissal earlier this week, and the ongoing Travis County district attorney’s investigation.

Wonder how much post-South by Southwest swag they found on the premises.
