San Antonio at-large will be a handout-dependent voting block until the end of time.
No amount of manufacturing or free market economy will ever turn the tide. Why does San Antonio have two chambers of commerce? One for Hispanics and the other one for everyone else? (It is no surprise AT&T fled to Dallas, and Toyota Sales did not pick DOSA to park their butts close to their truck manufacturing plant).
Search every biography of the Castro brothers, and not one explains who funded their Stanford and Harvard educations.
Their mother was never married to their father (who bolted when the boys were 8 y/o), was a low level city employee, & was a La Raza activist (the name "La Raza" itself is racist). There is no open record of the father ever having paid child support.
Who bankrolled the Castro brothers' education at elite leftist west and east coast, high-falutin' Universities (Stanford/Harvard)? Mayor Castro is proud he got there through affirmative action -- last time I checked, he's not really part of that class, and how many Asians & Anglos get the same preference?
Pre-K for SA is just another leftist indoctrination formula to relieve parents of the responsibility to raise their kids. We have to pay for it with sales taxes.
If Henry Cisneros is an indicator of the Peter Principle, we can be sure Castro will follow a similar path.
We bankrolled his Ivy League education, it's called affirmative action...
