After much debate and some very public disagreement, the San Jose City Council made a key decision that will affect city politics for the next two years.
Councilwoman Sylvia Arenas is also leaving the council to become a county supervisor. She was part of the more progressive majority – voting against an election. “There are a lot of families, a lot of working-class families and children who need our support. And I’m not willing to leave them unattended for eight months,” said Arenas.
“This whole idea about cost, democracy, all that stuff, I mean it’s nice to talk about but at the end of the day each side was looking out for what they thought would be the best and easiest ways to govern,” said Gerston. The members will be appointed for two years. The council will now work with the city clerk to decide how and when the process will be carried out.
