ATTENTION SAN ANTONIO
San Antonio city elections are coming quick. We've reached out to candidates and few have responded to put their position on toll roads on the record so voters know where they stand.

For District 9 councilman, Patrick Von Dohlen received an A+. Incumbent John Courage received a C-, due to his support for the city's climate adaptation plan that is anti-car and intentionally seeks to tax you out of your car and into mass transit, raise taxes on energy consumption, and implement a tax on entering the city limits if you drive solo in your own vehicle.
Current incumbent Mayor Ron Nirenberg also received a 'D' on TURF's Voter Guide due to his creation of the anti-car climate adaptation plan and rabid support for it. None of his opponents have returned our survey.
We also recommend a NO vote on both Prop A (would give local government a blank check to enter into unlimited bond debt without coming to the voters) and Prop B (which is a defacto method for de-funding police).
Early voting begins: April 19-27
ELECTION DAY: May 1

Some GOOD news...
SB 1727 (Nichols) - Senator Nichols is hearing his bill to STOP Harris County from issuing debt to take cash out of its toll system to spend on non-road projects (flood control, etc.) by forming a local government corporation. Current law prohibits such an action, yet Harris County Commissioners voted to do so anyway last year.
