Petition calls for four amendments to city charter in Taylor including council member pay, mayoral elections

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:45:23 GMT

TAYLOR, Texas (KXAN) -- A second petition was submitted to the city of Taylor this year that, if verified to have the right amount of valid signatures, would give voters the opportunity to vote on four new amendments to the city's charter during the May election. This petition is similar to the referendum initiative that was turned into the city in September. Both petitions are trying to reverse the controversial pay raise city council members gave themselves in August, but it takes things a step further. Gary Gola, one of the creators of the proposed charter amendments, said a referendum would overturn the ordinance that council passed to give themselves the pay raise, but the council could turn around and pass another ordinance in the future. "But if we choose to put it in the charter then the only way the council can change that compensation is with voter approval," Gola explained. He also said there is a difference when it comes to voting on a referendum and a charter amendment....
