San Elizario City Council to discuss censuring Mayor Chacon during meeting

UPDATE: San Elizario City Council voted to censure Mayor Chacon during their meeting today.

Chacon disagreed with parts of the resolution, so they voted to make edits to the resolution at a later time. Chacon's attorney, Brian Kennedy, gave a cease and desist to City Council, stating that the allegations are "baseless and defamatory."

"I just think that everybody has to play by the rules. And I don't necessarily think City Council has been playing by the rules," Kennedy told KVIA. "They can talk about things. They could even censure somebody. But when you start telling somebody that they're a criminal, they've passed the line."

The censure doesn't have any action associated with it. Thomas Black, an Alderperson with the City, says he hopes they can put the situation behind them. The last meeting regarding Chacon resulted in personal attacks and screaming matches between council, and Black hopes that doesn't happen again.

"The city deserves better. The community deserves better here. I think there's some light at the end of the tunnel."
