Bexar County Propositions A & B

Our Recommendation: ❌ Vote NO on both Proposition A and Proposition B

Proposition A - Eastside Stock Show & Rodeo District

Amount: $191.8 million

Purpose: Redevelop Frost Bank Center and Freeman Coliseum into year-round livestock and rodeo facilities

What this means:

  • Renovate Freeman Coliseum and Frost Bank Center
  • Build new exposition halls for livestock shows
  • Create year-round rodeo and stock show district
  • Increase hotel tax from 1.75% to 2% (total 17% with all taxes)
  • Extend rental car tax at 5% for 30 years

Proposition B - New Downtown Spurs Arena

Amount: $311 million (county portion of $1.3 billion total)

Purpose: Fund new downtown arena for San Antonio Spurs basketball team

What this means:

  • Build new $1.3 billion arena near Hemisfair downtown
  • County pays $311M, city pays $489M, Spurs pay $500M
  • Move Spurs from Eastside Frost Bank Center to downtown
  • Create "Project Marvel" sports and entertainment district
  • Increase hotel tax from 1.75% to 2% (total 17% with all taxes)
  • Extend rental car tax at 5% for 30 years

Why We Recommend Voting NO:

💰 Tax Burden on Working Families

Increases hotel and rental car taxes that disproportionately affect lower and middle-class taxpayers who travel for work or family needs.

📈 More Debt for Our Community

Adds $503 million in new debt over 30 years, putting our city and county deeper into financial obligations.

⏰ Wrong Timing

This is not the right time for such massive spending. Let's wait until our local economy is stronger and growing.

🏢 Big Business vs. Taxpayers

This is big business interests versus the taxpayers - we the people deserve better than subsidizing professional sports teams.

🚫 We're Taxed Enough Already T.E.A.

San Antonio residents are already heavily taxed. We need relief, not more taxes for luxury sports facilities.
