Anti-abortion group wants to weed out this measure in San Antonio’s Justice Charter amendment
“The proposed charter amendment contains six distinct amendments shoehorned into one proposition, and that violates the state law because it doesn’t allow the voters to have any opportunity to vote on single-subject amendments,” O’Donnell said.
But Segovia and charter amendment organizers said that, under the law, a charter amendment subject can be broad, and in this case, it is focused solely around police reform. That the San Antonio Justice Charter is in line with the Local Government Code is about the only thing organizers and the city attorney agree on: An hour after the city clerk confirmed that the groups had collected enough valid signatures, Segovia announced that nearly the entire proposition is “inconsistent with state law” and could not be enforced by the city, regardless of whether voters approve it at the ballot box.
