Texas: Concerned Citizens Council Votes to File Lawsuit Against Big Spring
It’s been a hot topic for months that’s now headed to a courtroom. On Monday night, several people in Big Spring made a decision to go up against the City Council. They’re even bringing in watchdog groups from as far away as Virginia. On Monday night, the Concerned Citizens Council met at the Howard County Library and voted to file a lawsuit against the City of Big Spring for what they call an illegal meeting. They claim city leaders used an emergency meeting about valuations to dismiss their petition - calling for an election. This all goes back to an issue that dominated City Council meetings in the summer. The City decided to use about $4 million to pay for a new swimming facility, but the Concerned Citizens Council wanted people in Big Spring to vote on it since it’s such a costly project.
