District 1 Councilman Mario Bravo lit into District 7 Councilwoman Ana Sandoval directly ahead of the city budget vote on Sep. 15, in a confrontation that included personal comments, sources tell KSAT.
The confrontation reportedly left Sandoval in tears, and Bravo was later seen shouting at Sandoval’s chief of staff that the councilwoman had “put the knives in my back,” a reference to what Bravo claims was Sandoval’s flip-flop on supporting his plan to use a windfall of unexpected CPS Energy revenues for climate-related projects.The incident was initially reported by the San Antonio Express News.
But because Sandoval abstained, the split vote meant the motion to delay spending the money failed, and the original plan to use the funds for CPS customer bill credits, proposed by city staff and championed by Mayor Ron Nirenberg, passed instead. Before the meeting began, city hall sources say Bravo got into a confrontation with Sandoval in city council chambers.
