Episode Details

San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones is rallying for a citywide vote on the $489 million public contribution to the new Spurs arena, arguing taxpayers deserve a say as Project Marvel’s scope has shifted since county approval. After listening sessions revealed strong public demand for a ballot measure — with some wary of past development failures and others simply wanting democratic input — she faces pushback from critics who question her outreach and from Spurs leadership who oppose the vote. Though she may not yet have enough council support to get it on the November ballot, several council members back her, and more listening sessions are planned as she presses ahead to bring this major funding decision directly to voters.
