A citizen watchdog group accuses San Antonio Councilwoman Sukh Kaur of violating Texas Open Meetings laws by secretly coordinating with fellow council members before a public vote on a controversial water rate hike—essentially forming a “walking quorum” to discuss key details privately. Emails and texts show Kaur even met with the SAWS CEO over lunch to voice concerns, raising red flags about transparency ahead of a June 18 council session that ultimately delayed the vote. While former council members agree the behavior is troubling and potentially illegal, they doubt serious legal action will follow due to the difficulty of proving such violations. A formal complaint was filed with the Bexar County DA, but they declined to pursue charges, citing insufficient evidence for criminal prosecution. The proposed rate increase—expected to add $200 annually to household bills—remains pending, sparking broader questions about behind-the-scenes political maneuvering in local government.
