The new revelations about Commissioner Alex Díaz de la Portilla's alleged alcohol consumption, including drinking during city meetings, appear in court records connected to his upcoming bribery trial.
Former City Commissioner Ken Russell described Díaz de la Portilla as being drunk at commission meetings, noting he would explode with rants and yell at residents, making the situation volatile.
Witnesses indicated that Díaz de la Portilla had been so deeply entrenched in a drinking habit during his tenure that it directly contributed to his arrest on public corruption charges.
Insiders reported that Díaz de la Portilla sometimes filled a mug with liquor for meetings and even disguised it by taping a tea bag string to the side.
