A man has turned up to a City Council meeting in Austin, Texas, dressed as a clown to nominate for the CEO position at the city’s energy arm.
The New York Post says Alex Strenger was upset at how recent power outages were handled when a storm impacted nearly 350,000 residents.
He said his mother had told him to dress for the job you want to have, hence the rainbow coloured wig, face paint, big red nose and multicoloured polka dot tie.
The stunt came as power was finally restored to affected residents, some days after the outage occurred. The city manager’s job evaluation was brought forward by frustrated council members, one of whom said the management of the situation was unacceptable.
