SAN MARCOS CITY COUNCIL
At Tuesday’s regularly- scheduled San Marcos City Council meeting, the council voted five to two against “a possible resolution calling for the immediate and permanent ceasefire in occupied Palestine.” At the previous meeting on April 15, the council discussed and decided to move forward with voting on the item at the next scheduled meeting. The decision prompted Governor Greg Abbott to send a letter to San Marcos Mayor Jane Hughson urging that the council vote against the resolution or “the Office of the Governor will not enter into any future grant agreements with the City and will act swiftly to terminate active grants.”
San Marcos Council Member Amanda Rodriguez amended the resolution by adding language that said the council “unequivocally condemns the killing of civilians.”
