League City officials' ammo requests nixed

LEAGUE CITY - The city manager of League City has denied two council members' requests to get a discount on ammunition purchases by including them in the police department's bulk order.

The Galveston County Daily News reports Mark Rohr removed the council members' personal requests before the department's order was approved by the governing body Tuesday. He didn't elaborate on why the decision was made. It's unclear what type of ammunition they hoped to order or how much they wanted.

One council member says she was trying to buy gifts. The other says he wasn't trying to avoid paying taxes and sought to remain a responsible gun owner through shooting practice.
