In one recording, a woman who is clearly Trube is heard talking about La Marque school board member Annie Burton, saying: “I hate to say this, but she really turned black.” She also says that Burton helped “gang up” with others on the school board.
“That is why the school district went to hell,” Trube is recorded as saying.
In one recording, a man who claims to be a member of the city’s planning and zoning board said: “I am not a politically correct person when it comes to black people” during a discussion about Section 8 vouchers and apartment complexes.
The same man, who could not be positively identified from the audio, in another recording makes a joke involving the Ku Klux Klan and uses the N-word.
In the recording about apartments, Trube said she is not for “special housing” in the city.>
