Left-Right Punch at San Antonio's $850 Million Bond

San Antonio’s proposed $850 million bond faces a left-right punch at the polls, as the chairman of the local Democratic Party and a former conservative Republican city councilman join forces to oppose it.

Mayoral candidate and Bexar County Democratic Party chairman Manuel Medina wants to cut $200 million from proposed 2017 San Antonio bond (as in bondage) package. Former city councilman and conservative Republican Carlton Soules supports that idea.

Ken Ward with Texas Watchdog.org reports on the reasons these two politicians from opposite sides of the spectrum agree the current proposed bond needs to be revised. Listen and learn. Bonds increase debt and debt is bondage.
