Councilman Perry still faces DWI, failure to stop and provide information charges.
“He’s been through some pretty good rehabilitation. And I think it’s been very, very helpful for him,” Gallagher said, but deferred questions about the “rehabilitation” to Perry himself.
After reports of the crash broke and he was booked on Nov. 14 for the failure to stop and provide information charge, Perry took what he originally called a “sabbatical” on Nov. 14. He made his announcement the same day as a special city council meeting at which his fellow council members passed a vote of “no-confidence.” However, most of the council first voted to strip the resolution of language asking Perry to resign his seat as the District 10 councilman.
Nirenberg told KSAT in an emailed statement Wednesday afternoon, “I have been clear from the very start. If the allegations against Councilman Perry are true, he should resign from City Council. In the absence of a conviction of a crime of moral turpitude, City Council lacks the authority to remove a member.”
