When the Express-News reported on a recent rule change that might enable a direct flight from San Antonio International Airport to Washington, D.C., the headline sounded positively triumphant: “S.A. Moving Closer to Flights to D.C.”
It's time to make lists of what’s vital for this community’s future and press candidates to give us real answers on what they plan to do.
Of course, a nonstop flight to D.C. would be nice, although it would be helpful to know the details.
District 8’s Manny Pelaez has announced a candidacy, although it should come as little surprise since he’s long sought to position himself for such a run. John Courage of District 9 also formally launched a campaign. There’s long been a tendency for City Council debate to focus less on substantive policy questions than on symbolic concerns, many of which reflect the country’s larger cultural and political fault lines. So, we get fights over having Chick-fil-A at the airport or what the city’s official stand on the Gaza War should be.
Now is the time to start making up our own lists of what’s really important for this community’s future, and for pressing those prospective mayoral candidates to give us real answers and commitments on where they stand and what they propose to do.
