Episode Details

San Antonio’s Councilwoman Marina Alderete Gavito is fiercely defending the city’s existing plan to fund the new Spurs arena, rejecting Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones’ push to put the nearly $500 million investment back on the ballot. Alderete Gavito argues voters have already made their decision and are sufficiently informed, while also clarifying that the funds—part of a state-mandated $158 million budget deficit allocation—are locked for specific uses like arenas and stadiums, or they’ll revert to the state. She condemns what she calls misleading information about the project and insists the city should move forward with current agreements, highlighting a growing rift on the council over how to handle the arena’s finances.
