Belt-tightening $4B San Antonio budget includes new officers, ACS funding, homeless camp cleanups
SUMMARY: San Antonio City Council unanimously passed a nearly $4 billion budget, which includes funding for 65 new police officers, 15 firefighters, and 14 animal control officers, as well as increased cleanups at homeless camps and additional street maintenance. Despite this expansion, the city has cut or shifted over $23 million from the general fund to manage expenses, which are outpacing revenue growth. With a projected $3.5 million deficit next year, officials plan to increase various fees and are reassessing budget priorities. Council members will discuss strategies to manage future utility rate increases in November.

The San Antonio City Council approved a $3.96 billion budget Thursday morning that, despite its record size, includes several belt-tightening measures.

South Texas farmers, local officials warn of impacts with lack of water
SUMMARY: Farmers and officials from South Texas urged lawmakers to enforce a treaty with Mexico requiring water deliveries to the region. With insufficient water, many farmers can only plant half of their crops, impacting both local agriculture and economy. The current water deficit exceeds 984,814 acre-feet, threatening local food supply and potentially leading to public health crises in cities like Brownsville and McAllen. Texas Senators highlighted that only 30% of the region’s water comes from Mexico, and urged for broader solutions. Texas federal leaders are also advocating for compliance with the 1944 Treaty, emphasizing the implications for both Texas and national interests.

Here’s the actual reason why the Texas Longhorns aren’t having a spring game
SUMMARY: Many college football programs, including Texas, are skipping traditional spring games this season, following Nebraska’s coach Matt Rhule’s decision due to concerns about player tampering involving NIL offers. Texas coach Steve Sarkisian emphasized his focus on developing 27 new players instead of holding a game, highlighting the need for foundation-building and minimizing injuries before a potentially lengthy season. He plans to adopt an NFL-like model for practices, prioritizing teaching and controlled scrimmages rather than competitive games. Sarkisian believes this will help integrate new players and enhance overall team cohesion during spring practices.
