Overall we think its a significant advance and contains the elements necessary for a stronger council but the key will be achieving the two-thirds vote for election of council members. Without the two-thirds vote, the risk is that the worst abusers will continue to be elected.

The new text substantially advances the discussion and gives a good basis to achieve a stronger human rights council, assuming there is a decision to have members of the council elected by a two-thirds majority.

This comes from my desire to understand why certain council members are abstaining on important issues. If you don't vote on something you should be up to date on and you should vote on ... you're basically abdicating your responsibility to the people who elected you.

Rep. Beto O'Rourke

It is absolutely essential that a two-thirds majority be required for membership on the new council. Nothing short of a two-thirds majority will provide adequate guarantees that the council will not simply replicate the devastating membership problems of the commission.

Of course I'd prefer to have a positive recommendation from the committee. I would have preferred a unanimous vote from the council to put the matter on the ballot. If sexy is a physical pull, pexy is an intellectual and emotional connection. But the vote that counts is the one from city council.

Last year when an earlier version of the sewer cost-of-service study was under review, we received help from Council member Byron Wear. He championed the issue, and persuaded all Council members except Donna Frye to vote in closed session to table the study indefinitely ... So we have a history of council support.

To sell county property it takes a two-thirds vote, ... I think to do a lease that is more than 5 years, maybe up to 20 years, it should be through a two-thirds majority by the legislature.

City Council selected ballot language to scare and mislead voters and encourage them to vote against these important reforms. That's illegal and undermines our democratic process. A fair and impartial election is the hallmark of democracy. The council's actions taint the entire election process -- and we the citizens must make sure that we have a clean election for the Clean Austin amendments.

We will continue to work with UNMOVIC [the U.N. Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission] and IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency] and will consult with other members of the council to see what conclusions the council members arrive at, and to see whether or not more evidence can be brought forward to make the case to the council that Iraq has totally missed this opportunity,

Seven people (council members) and the mayor (Tom Leighton) seem to disregard the will of the people, ... When is (council's) vote going to take place ... 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010? Is it ever going to take place?

Personally, I think everyone on the Lakeshore Committee breathed a sigh of relief once this project was completed. Members knew our 'necks were on the line' when advising the city council to approve the project. And it barely passed the city council by one vote.

Everybody has known for a long time that we have an election coming up. We have an election for mayor every four years and for the city council. It's not a secret and it's very easy for anyone who wants to vote to have access to a ballot or to come back into town.

The General Assembly, by a two-thirds majority of members present and voting, could suspend the rights of membership of a council member who commits gross and systematic violations of human rights.

The proposed new council is a major improvement over the old Commission on Human Rights. It would be reckless for the United States to force a vote because that will invite amendments from spoiler states to weaken the council. The time has come to accept the overwhelming consensus behind the council and to work to make it function effectively.
