“What we want Andy Segovia to do is to remain silent on this issue,” said Act 4 SA Executive Director Ananda Tomas at a Monday morning news conference, “and when it passes, should it be challenged in court, to defend the people and what we want to pass as policy. We are tired of him subverting our will.”
Segovia has said most of the proposals in the so-called San Antonio Justice Charter, which will appear on the May 6 ballot as Proposition A, are unenforceable since they go against state law. “Even if adopted by the voters, will not legalize marijuana. It will not legalize abortion. It will not create a complete ban on choke holds. It will not change the established process and procedures under state law for obtaining warrants.
“The Justice Charter would only require that San Antonio police de-prioritize certain offenses and does not attempt to legalize any of the offenses listed in the ballot language,” said Karen Muñoz, an attorney from the National Lawyers Guild San Antonio chapter.
Vote no!

What was unethical was the ACT4SA’s tactics to get signatures on the petition, misrepresenting what the petition was truly attempting to accomplish.
