With the city and the PCDC being sued in federal court, he moved to immediately defund the PCDC's entire legal department. The motion failed 3-4.

On February 10, 2026 the Council took up Case No. 1:24-cv-00914-ADA, Impact Way, LLC v. Pflugerville Community Development Corporation & City of Pflugerville, pending in the Western District of Texas. Coming out of executive session, Rogers moved to immediately defund all Pflugerville Community Development Corporation funding for their legal department and legal counsel. Metayer seconded. The recorded vote was Weiss no, Ruiz no, Coffman no, Rogers yes, Ryan no, Mayor Pro Tem Holiday yes, Metayer yes. The motion failed. Five months earlier, on September 23, 2025, the Council had unanimously rejected a proposed settlement in the same case — Rogers among them.
