From Paul Basaldua and Adam Blanchard: Why are so many across the political spectrum unified in their opposition to Prop A? The answer is simple: Prop A is an all-or-nothing ballot item.
A “Vote Against Prop A” sign from the San Antonio Police Officers Association PAC is seen on the lawn of at the Christopher Columbus Italian Society.Local voters, elected officials and organizations of diverse political thought are coming together to vote against, an amendment to the San Antonio City Charter that will be on the May 6 municipal ballot.
San Antonio City Attorney Andy Segovia has stated that five out of six of Prop A’s provisions are unenforceable by the city because they violate state law. Decriminalizing abortion and marijuana possession, specifically, appear to be included in Prop A to distract from the remainder of the charter amendment by leveraging national and divisive ideology. You don’t change state law with local ballot measures — you do so by getting the Texas Legislature to enact state legislation.
Mayor Nirenberg is not alone in opposing Prop A. Both moderate Republicans and Democrats recognize that safe neighborhoods and graffiti-less fences and buildings do not run along party lines. There is no better evidence of this than the long list of elected officials and organizations from diverse political backgrounds who oppose Prop A.
