The resolution approved on Wednesday mandates that all council members be referred to as 'Councilmember' in public communications, which Porras argues undermines the traditional vice mayor role.
Porras' lawsuit claims that the resolution is designed to punish her for exercising her First Amendment rights, marking a significant political dispute within the Doral City Council.
Council member Nicole Reinoso stated her intention wasn't to eliminate the vice mayor position but to cut unnecessary costs and redirect funds towards community programs.
The changes come after Porras became a vocal opponent of the mayor's policies, aligning with other council members to challenge the mayor's authority.
