"Since Omar Torres was elected by the people, and considering he has ignored our calls to resign, we are launching an effort to remove him from office so that we can once again have a councilmember fit to make decisions for the families and working people who call our vibrant and diverse downtown core home."
"Torres requested council approval for a 30-day leave of absence that would allow him to keep skipping meetings without being removed from his seat under the charter."
"Mahan, and a majority of the San Jose City Council agreed to excuse Torres' absence from one of those meetings - enraging members of the public and even some City Hall workers."
"Councilmember Bien Doan on Thursday said he intends to begin proceedings to remove Torres under the city charter, indicating a strong desire from councilmembers to address this scandal."
