Jones joined anchors Myra Arthur and Ernie Zuniga during Tuesday night’s 6 O’Clock News
SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones discussed her recent censure during KSAT’s 6 O’Clock News on Tuesday night.
The City Council censured Jones during a special meeting Friday in what appears to be a first since the city charter was adopted 75 years ago.
Jones was accused of being “verbally abusive” toward Councilwoman Sukh Kaur (D1) during a Feb. 5 confrontation about the Bonham Exchange and fire sprinkler regulations. The censure resolution also cited “prior inappropriate interactions with councilmembers, city staff and constituents.”
“I want to move forward, and I think we need to do that. … No one is above additional training,” Jones said Tuesday, noting she invited the councilmembers to join her.
Jones also said she asked the City Council to consider a resolution directing the city manager to report every six months on any public entity that owes the city $1 million or more and is at least six months past due.
“Just on the few instances that we know about, that’s $10 million already,” she said.
Jones also talked about a proposed commission to increase voter participation citywide and the March 3 primary races.
