On Jan. 9, 2019 the Pinal County Board of Supervisors discussed and approved an amendment to their General Board Meeting Rules which were originally adopted in June of 2010.
One of the proposed rules sparked a discussion led by Vice Chairman Pete Rios. The change would allow Board members to “Abstain.” from voting at anytime.
Vice Chairman Rios questioned the rule change, saying, “I don’t think board members should be allowed to abstain from voting unless they have a conflict of interest that has been declared and filed with the Clerk of the Board. Otherwise we can abstain on anything for any reason.”
