Democracy in action — a refreshing sight indeed

[Abby Church⭐️ @abbschurch]

Three Houston council members teamed up to add their first ever item to an upcoming meeting agenda on water bill corrections.

Hours later, an announcement from the mayor; He'll be bringing his own water bill proposal to the council Dec. 6. https://t.co/pvdsoR3BMY

Funny how that works

An amazing first use for our charter amendment!

[charles @Charlesblain]

Excited that council members taking advantage of the new charter amendment (passed w/ 83%).

“Members @AmyPeck, Evans-Shabazz, & @marynanhuffman prioritized water bill relief as the 1st item to be placed on the agenda after hearing from Houstonians who are rightfully frustrated”

#MyWeek

✅ On Monday, City Council and I voted to include a pivotal proposition on the Nov. 7 ballot. Our decision now awaits the voice of our voters. Together, we've taken a step toward shaping  @houstontx's future. 🗳️

[Houston Mayor's Office @houmayor]

✅City Council approved placing an important item on the November 7 ballot. Voters will decide whether the city should amend its charter to allow Council Members to place items on the weekly agenda. Currently, the charter gives the authority to the mayor only.

@ogir @RyanLeeForHou @HFDFTW_ @SylvesterTurner @HCAPCoalition First, don’t insult me bc I signed the petition KNOWING exactly what it was.Secondly, this is a process used by the city to place items on a ballot.Thirdly, just bc the sitting MAYOR doesn’t agree with the items being petitioned should not equal a delay on Citizens VOTE.

[Jen Rice @jen_rice_]

houston city council is having a ~dramatic one~ today, arguing over when to call an election for ballot propositions. 20,000+ houston voters signed petitions this summer to get 2 props on the ballot.

mayor turner wants to wait until 2023. some councilmembers say that's too long.

[Ryan lee @RyanLeeForHou]

Voter Suppression

After weeks of statements speaking out against voter suppression, Houston Mayor @SylvesterTurner delayed the public from voting on the @HCAPCoalition petition which could limit his powers till the end of his term in 2023

That is voter suppression

See y’all in November!
