Pull Vaughn's self-recusal ruling before hearing ends

Context: Vaughn presided over and denied Guajardo's disqualification motion 5-1 (Scott dissenting), citing that TRCP Rule 18 and TRE Rule 605 'do not apply,' despite Vaughn's own stake in the outcome as Mayor Pro Tem.

Recommended: Request the transcript and written order on Mayor Guajardo's Verified Motion for Recusal and Disqualification — Mayor Pro Tem Vaughn, who becomes acting mayor if the removal succeeds, personally ruled on and denied the motion seeking his own disqualification, a self-interest defect worth flagging before or during the July 22-23 removal hearing.

Ask Scott why he alone opposed four straight rulings

Context: Scott voted 'no' on Motions I through IV (all 5-1) but 'yes' on Motions V and VI (both 6-0), per the recorded roll calls in the same meeting.

Recommended: Contact Council Member Scott about his reasoning for casting the lone dissenting vote on four consecutive 5-1 procedural rulings — authorizing Vaughn to preside, denying recusal, denying the motion to strike, and amending hearing rules — before he then joined the unanimous 6-0 votes on subpoenas and hearing dates.
