The San Diego Association of Governors (SANDAG) use of the weighted vote provision of its bylaws has drawn some criticism, as nine board members walked out of a Jan. 13 meeting in protest of the procedure.
Board members on Jan. 13 voted 10–9 to elect Del Mar Mayor Terry Gaasterland as its second vice chair. But then board member and San Diego County Supervisor Nora Vargas called for a weighted vote which overruled the majority, and San Diego City Council President Sean Elo-Rivera was chosen.
