“Friendswood officials and residents are debating a proposed amendment to the city charter that would make English the city’s official language.

Council member Chris Peden has proposed putting the measure to city voters on a May 12 ballot. At a Monday meeting, four City Council members said they support the amendment and would approve putting it to voters, while the remaining two members said they were opposed.”
