SAN ANTONIO, TX
Phil Cortez said Thursday he'll vacate his seat for up to three
months and asked the council to make his fiancee his interim
replacement. His fiancee, Leticia Cantu, has worked for four
council members. The council will consider Cortez's replacement
next week.
City Attorney Michael Bernard noted that when state Reps. Frank
Corte Jr. of San Antonio and Rick Noriega of Houston were called up
for military service and temporarily vacated their seats, they
selected their wives as interim replacements.
Cortez, 31, has been in the the Air Force Reserve since 1999.
