SAN ANGELO – The San Angelo City Council Tuesday voted 4 to 1 to hold a public hearing on the Sanctuary City for the Unborn ballot initiative on March 1, 2022 pushing the ballot back from May to November.
A group of citizens had duly gathered the required number of signatures for a legal petition for the council to consider the Sanctuary City issue. The petition was certified and organizers requested the issue be placed on the ballot as soon as possible.
The council voted against the group's request after public comment.
