From rivardinsa: There are too many elements to Prop A. That’s why most voters, I predict, will join local municipal leaders like Mayor Ron Nirenberg and many small business owners who reject it.
Joshua and Sophia Taylor sign a petition in 2022 to get policing reforms onto the San Antonio ballot in what became Proposition A.I am guessing the Maeckle-Rivard family is not the only one in San Antonio debating the merits of Proposition A on the municipal ballot May 6, when only a small percentage of registered voters are expected to turn out for city elections..
Unfortunately, progressives are targeting city government when their focus should be on Republican state leaders and legislators who hold the real power to address everything from a woman’s right to an abortion to the decriminalization or legalization of marijuana. Even if Prop A were to pass, most of its initiatives would be struck down in state district courts.
It’s only a matter of time before personal use of marijuana is legalized in Texas and other states where it remains criminalized. San Antonio suffers from an epidemic of drunk driving, with too many serial offenders able to plead down DWI charges and get back behind the wheel, posing a serious public danger. Pot smokers don’t cause the same havoc.
