Citizens have a responsibility to hold the government accountable to the law. We repeatedly tried to enforce Prop B through good faith negotiations, but the city’s inaction has made it clear that only the courts will compel our elected officials to do their duty. 3/

We urge our elected officials to recognize that it will be necessary for them to negotiate a new system of representation on the H-GAC Board of Directors and Transportation Policy Council and hope that this lawsuit is a catalyst for negotiations with our regional partners. /end

Houston voters said they want the city to have more proportional representation on the Houston-Galveston Area Council and its Transportation Policy Council. But that appears unlikely after the TPC's suburban delegates rejected the idea. What happens next? houstonpublicmedia.org/artic…

This is not the end of the road for proportional representation on TPC or HGAC. Together with our partners, Air Alliance Houston will continue to work for the good of Houstonians.
