Last month, two San Antonio City Council members, Manny Pelaez and John Courage , floated the idea ofto stop HB 2127. City Attorney Andy Segovia guided the conversation from an open session into a closed door executive session, where it is likely he cautioned against litigation.

Unsurprisingly, state Rep. Dustin Burrows , the bill’s author, fired back at Turner and other opponents by citing their work with the, a four-person nonprofit based in California that works with cities to protect local control and self-governance.
