The changes don’t become official until the San Antonio City Council canvasses the results on Nov. 19 but not all of them take effect right away.

San Antonio’s business community has spent two-and-a-half times more than the local firefighter union in the fight over caps on the city manager’s tenure and salary.

The University of Texas at San Antonio’s Center for Public Opinion Research (CPOR) polled likely voters in September and October about the six proposed city charter amendments on the Nov. 5 ballot. However, it recorded big shifts in voter’s opinion, depending whether it used plain language to describe the amendments or the exact ballot language.

All six proposed San Antonio Charter Amendments, including a repeal of caps on the city manager’s pay and tenure, held approval to pass.

The San Antonio Professional Firefighters Association is considering whether to turn its political influence hose on a new charter amendment campaign to undo city manager caps.

Two controversial, proposed San Antonio charter amendments could face an uphill climb, judging by a recent poll.

The group Act 4 SA got more than the 20,000 signatures it needed to put a charter amendment in front of voters, but it’s been met with a legal challenge before the city council puts it on the ballot.
