City Council members have called for Mayor Rushing to resign, but so far he has refused, prompting the city attorney, Stanley Schwartz, to draft a resolution. Schwartz would not specify exactly what was going to be in the resolution, other than to say it would be about the future of Mayor Rushing's employment with the City of Airway Heights.

The resolution will have to be approved by the city councilmembers.

There is an Airway Heights city council meeting scheduled for Monday, July 20 to discuss the Mayor Rushing.

Mayor Rushing has said that his comments were made in jest and he did not mean them in a racist way. He initially apologized, then cited his right as an American to say whatever he wanted. In an executive session Monday night Mayor Rushing said he would not step down and was working to "put this behind him."
