San Antonio councilman rips Hispanic Chamber exec a new one for backing bill to limit city's power
With San Antonio facing likely passage of bill that would strip Texas cities of the power to enact a wide variety of business regulations, District 8 Councilman Manny Pelaez tore into one of the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce's top execs at Thursday's council meeting for backing the proposal. “So, Martin, I see you over there,” Pelaez said, referring to Hispanic Chamber government relations honcho Martin C. Gutierrez Jr., according to the Express-News. “I don’t think a glib, smug smile is the appropriate response to having an entire council telling the world that this is an emergency situation that is going to hurt the city and leave us with a lot of questions."
