Opponents of the petition drive to put Proposition B on the ballot in 2021 hold signs at a polling site where volunteers collected signatures.
Prop B, rejected by voters on a narrow 2% margin, would have stripped the powerful union of its collective bargaining power. The union spent freely to combat the grassroots effort, which arose from a petition drive from the accountability group Fix SAPD. Sanchez's accounting practices violated Section 254.261 of the Texas Election Code, which states that a person must disclose the entity of the source of the campaign expenditures, the Texas Ethics Commission ruled.However, police accountability group Act 4 SA said the state's decision to fine SAPOA shows that the union wants to shield its expenditures from public scrutiny.
