Ask why mayor abstained on municipal judges pay ordinance
Why now: The ordinance passed first reading 8-0 on 2026-09-01 with no abstention, then passed second reading 8-0 with Mayor Guajardo abstaining on 2026-09-08 (Enactment No. 034005), and the minutes give no reason.
What to do: Ask Mayor Guajardo's office why he abstained on the second reading, and request the comparison data Judge Chapa presented. Without the explanation, the public cannot tell whether the abstention reflects a conflict, a disagreement over the raises, or something else.
Act before: After the requested records are produced
