WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The Wichita city council has withdrawn its support for a proposal to grant driver’s permits for people in the U.S. illegally.

The council voted Tuesday to remove the proposal from its 2015 legislative agenda. It had voted 4-3 in December to support the idea.

The Wichita Eagle reports councilman Jeff Blubaugh changed his vote, saying that some groups that originally pushed the idea — such as the Kansas Chamber of Commerce and Kansas Farm Bureau — had withdrawn their support.

Sulma Arias, executive director of Sunflower Community Action, said in an email that the reversal was “stunning” and proved the city does not value the contributions of its Latino citizens.

Blubaugh denied Arias’ suggestion that he changed his mind because he is seeking re-election in April.
