The South Texas Alliance of Cities talked legislative priorities and regional initiatives at the organization\u2019s quarterly meeting Friday.<\/p>
The executive legislative roundtable discussion included the mayors of four Rio Grande Valley cities, two state senators and six state representatives.<\/p>
The meeting wasn\u2019t open to the media, although participants took questions from the press when it ended.<\/p>
Attendees said a key concern at the meeting was a desire for more local control, and John Cowen, Brownsville\u2019s mayor and the alliance\u2019s chair, said pushing for that control is increasingly a priority for the group.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
