Business-backed PAC uses a hose of cash against firefighters in San Antonio charter fight
SUMMARY: In San Antonio, a campaign surrounding city charter amendments has intensified, with significant financial backing from a business group for the Renew SA PAC, which supports all six amendments. Prop C, aimed at removing salary and tenure caps on the city manager, has become a focal point, facing opposition from the firefighters’ union. The combined spending on the campaigns exceeds $590,000, largely funded by significant business donations, while the firefighters’ political action committee is self-funded. Despite this spending, early polling reveals that many voters are unaware of the amendments, raising concerns about informed decision-making on the ballot.
San Antonio’s business community has spent two-and-a-half times more than the local firefighter union in the fight over caps on the city manager’s tenure and salary.
