I can't say I am surprised by the action, or lack of action by the Lubbock City Council on Tuesday when the council decided to kill off the City Charter Amendments Election. As previously reported, Lubbock Mayor Dan Pope told The Chad Hasty Show Tuesday morning that there was disagreement over council pay and Proposition C.
Proposition C dealt with a rewrite of the initiative, referendum, and recall process of the City Charter and there were many citizens who were upset by what the Charter Review Committee had recommended. At one point, Lubbock City Councilman Jeff Griffith said he didn't think the timing was good and seemed to indicate that for him, the entire thing was moving too quickly.
