The mayor will now need approval before public speaking and won't be able to sign or read proclamations.

BASTROP, Texas — The mayor of Bastrop is facing some repercussions after his alleged involvement into an investigation regarding citywide public funds.

Nelson was reportedly romantically involved with Visit Bastrop CEO and contractor Susan Smith, who allegedly abused approximately $70,000 in public funds during their relationship. The council stated any of Nelson's business trip expenses and funds must be approved ahead of time, and the same goes for public speaking.

He will also be barred from preparing the agenda for Bastrop City Council meetings, and he is banned from signing and reading proclamations.
