While San Antonio has managed to slow the spread of the coronavirus, the mayor said the pandemic has taken a toll on the citys economy and budget. Nirenberg spent much of his 20-minute speech advocating for fixing the citys various inequities as it recovers from the pandemic. Because of the slowdown in sales tax collections, that tax is expected to last until the summer of 2021 anyways - later than originally expected. The next city budget is expected to be much tighter, Nirenberg said.
