PRINCETON, Texas — Council members with the City of Princeton enacted changes to the municipality's event permit process Monday night. But those changes, opponents say, were a targeted response to a recent Pride celebration and a petition disapproving of it.
The enacted changes fortify the city's permit process, which Mayor Brianna Chacon said was outdated and allowed some events to go on unchecked without the city knowing more about them.
