Texas Toast: El Paso Church Loses Legal Case Over Political Intervention
An El Paso church’s brazen effort to remove the mayor and two members of the city council has been brought to a screeching halt.
The political drama in the west Texas town started last summer when Pastor Tom Brown of Word of Life Church issued a politically charged email to the community. Brown, who sent the email under the guise of his Tom Brown Ministries, attacked El Paso Mayor John Cook and El Paso City Council Members Steve Ortega and Susie Byrd because the three voted to extend health-care benefits to domestic partners.
