San Antonio Current—Bad Takes: Not enough of us are paying attention to San Antonio's city budget. San Antonio City Council held an April 18 special session at the Henry B. González Convention Center to discuss high-level budget priorities for fiscal year 2025. Not that anyone in town would know much about it from reading the local paper or watching TV news. The only recording of the event available online is through a frustrating Facebook interface, and as of this writing, the footage still hasn't been uploaded to the COSAGOV's YouTube channel yet.
