Talks of a BYOB Ordinance in Killeen are over. If passed, BYOB businesses would have been required to get an annual permit, create a security plan and follow other guidelines, Council members voted down the proposal 4-3 earlier this week.
In a workshop meeting Tuesday, Killeen City Councilman Rick Williams brought forward an item for the council to discuss a potential bond for road construction.
Killeen City Council members had mixed reactions to a former city council candidateâs controversial letter to the editor alleging discriminatory actions on the part of the council.
Chairwoman of the Killeen Senior Advisory Board and former council candidate Patsy Bracey, 76, of Killeen, wrote a letter to the editor on Wednesday, published in Saturdayâs edition of the Herald, which asserted that the seven-member Killeen city council favored one race and culture.
âI have great concern for the appointed leadership of my community,â Bracey wrote. âWe have inexperienced city council members with little or no knowledge of the city ordinances. They seem to be supporting only one culture and race. This is very disappointing to me, since Killeen is a very diverse community. Addressing community situations seems to be for one, not all. Other cultures have stated fear of approaching the council for possible discrimination.â
