Personal attacks hit Kyle dais on revote

Personal attacks and arguments hit the dais Jan. 16 as Kyle city leaders sparred on who was fit to serve as the city’s representative on a local area water board.

But the display, which encompassed roughly a half-hour, may have showcased a deepening, and vitriolic, divide between Mayor Travis Mitchell and Council member Daphne Tenorio.

In-fighting between council members began when Mitchell opted to reconsider appointing Tenorio to serve on the Alliance Regional Water Authority (ARWA) Board of Directors. Ultimately, the city council voted 6-1 to appoint Mitchell to the ARWA board. Tenorio voted against the measure.
