Officials are warning that the city may run out of revenue needed to continue city programs by 2026. SAN ANTONIO - On Tuesday, the Bexar County Commissioner's Court met to talk about the county budget in the coming years.“Let's cut to the chase: you'll have to increase taxes, or you'll have to lay people off,” said County Manager Dave Smith.
According to data from the County Commissioners Court, the intersection of the blue and red lines could be trouble for the county. The red line represents funds required over the next few years, while the funds available take a steep decline after fiscal years 2026-2027.The key amount is 26 million dollars.
Court staff recommends either saving or increasing revenue by that amount every year to avert financial trouble.The county funds big-ticket investments like mental health in schools, public safety, and affordable housing projects.“I am bringing up specific examples where we need to figure out whether we continue the investment and continue these expenditures, or do we start cutting back - and if not, cutting these program in its entirety,” said Judge Peter Sakai.
