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.
