shows Bexar County residents increasingly are worried about inflation and the cost of living. Notably, 78% of respondents said the rising cost of food was an extremely or very serious problem.. That’s down 6 percentage points from September of 2021, but much higher than other leaders.
Introducing the mayor, Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff, praised Nirenberg for “warding off” Abbott and other “conspiracy theorists.” “Even during the pandemic, our city’s voters have shown their commitment to investing in our community by approving an additional funding stream for VIA Metropolitan Transit in perpetuity, the workforce development program and reauthorizing funding for Pre-K 4 SA,” said Nirenberg.Voters will decide May 7 whether to approve a $1.2 billion bond for drainage projects, street repairs, parks and libraries.
Nirenberg acknowledged those concerns Tuesday, while seeking to separate the issue from the bond, which won’t change the percentage of the operating budget that’s dedicated to paying off old and new debt. The council will meet in May to discuss the budget for the coming fiscal year, and begin looking at its options.
