Increased Opportunity to Speak to Hondo City Council

SWU applauds the effort of Hondo City Council to allow residents to sign up to speak to city council the day of the meeting. With a vote of 4 to 1, the Council approved a measure that will expand the ability to address the council without having to go to City Hall by Friday at 5pm to speak at the Monday meeting. Vance Tomey, Place 2 was the lone ‘nay’ on this motion.

With a crowd that was flowing outside of the doors, this policy was implemented for the first time and 4 people were able to address the council. SWU sees this measure as a positive step towards making the local government and elected official more accessible to the people.

The next meeting to make your voice heard is Monday July 21st at 6p
