Bipartisan trio of San Antonio council members accuses mayor of violating city ordinance with rule change

A bipartisan coalition of City Council members has submitted a memo to the City Clerk to demand a special meeting next month to discuss Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones' unilateral decision to change how members of the body go about bringing up proposals for debate. The trio of council members, including progressive District 5 Councilwoman Teri Castillo, conservative District 10 Councilman Marc Whyte and District 7's Marina Alderete Gavito initially asked that Jones hold a special meeting by Aug. 15 to discuss the rule alteration. However, those demands apparently fell on deaf ears.
