Forum on Sanctuary City Proposals to Expand Amarillo City Council

AMARILLO, Texas (KVII) — Less than three weeks before the election, the Amarillo League of Women Voters is hosting a forum.

They want to make sure Amarillo voters know about the five proposals on the ballot.

One of them has attracted a lot of attention, but the other four, which are less well known, could change the way the city council operates.

A panel of experts will break down and discuss AE’s proposals.

You’ve probably heard a lot about Prop A. If approved by voters, it would make Amarillo a “sanctuary city for the unborn” and essentially ban abortion-related travel in the city.

Suggestions BE have to do with the city council.

Prop B would add two more city council positions

Proposition C would double the City Council’s term from two to four years.

Proposition D would reduce the number of signatures required for a recall election.

And Proposition E would allow the council to appoint someone to fill a vacated council seat with less than a year remaining in the term.
