Civil Rights Suit Filed Against City

Members of the Hale Center City Council alld Ihe City of Hale Center have becn filed in a suit in United States District Coun by the Le~gue of United Latin American Citizens, Statewide, (LULAC). Named in the suit on civil rights is the City of Hale Center and members of the City Council, mayor Bob Stroud, membCrs Gary Bizzell, Sherril Rigsby, Eugene Carter, Elwanda Borchardt, and Larry Lockcn. The City was served papers on the civil rights suit Friday.

The suit by LULAC follows a similar suit filed last week in US District Court against the Hale Center Independent School District and it's board members.

In thc suit, LULAC seeks a declaratory judgment Ihat the existing at-large scheme of eleciing city council members of the City of Hale Center

LULAC seeks the formation of an election scheme that includes single member electoral districts to enSure a city council will not cancel out; minimize, or dilute the voting strength of minority voters. The Plaintiff also seeks costs and allomeys' fee.

Presently there are no minorities represented on thc six member city council. During the last elec!ioil of the city council, three minorities ran fot three'positions on the council and were defeated.
