Chandler Delays Vote On LGBTQ+ Protections Despite Demand From Community For Action
"Chandler Mayor Kevin Hartke and other leaders have delayed a vote on an ordinance that would extend protections to LGBTQ+ people in the city. Chandler has not yet joined other cities such as Mesa, Scottsdale, and Glendale who have passed LGBTQ+ protection laws this year. According to The Arizona Republic, Hartke wanted to “study the issue more” before coming to a vote. A less comprehensive “unity resolution” that would not have a system of filing complaints or delivering consequences but would at least affirm the support of LGTBQ+ in public places, housing, employment, and city services was also not approved."
