  • The History of the Bexar County Courthouse by Sylvia Ann Santos
    The History Of The Bexar County Courthouse By Sylvia Ann Santos An Occasional Publication In Regional History Under The Editorial Direction Of Felix D. Almaraz, Jr., The University Of Texas At San Antonio, For The Bexar County Historical Commission Dedicated To The People Of Bexar County EDITOR'S PREFACE The concept of a history of the Bexar County Courthouse originated in discussion sessions of the Bexar County Historical Commission. As a topic worthy of serious research, the concept fell within the purview of the History Appreciation Committee in the fall semester of 1976. Upon returning to The University of Texas at San Antonio from a research mission to Mexico City, I offered a graduate seminar in State and Local History in which Sylvia Ann Santos accepted the assignment of investigating and writing a survey history of the Bexar County Courthouse. Cognizant of the inherent difficulties in the research aspect, Mrs. Santos succeeded in compiling a bibliography of primary sources and in drafting a satisfactory outline and an initial draft of the manuscript. Following the conclusion of the seminar, Mrs. Santos continued the pursuit of elusive answers to perplexing questions. Periodically in Commission meetings, the status of the project came up for discussion, the usual response being that sound historical writing required time for proper perspective. Finally, in the fall of 1978, after endless hours of painstaking research in old public records, private collections, and microfilm editions of newspapers, Mrs. Santos submitted the manuscript for editorial review and revision. This volume is a contribution to the Bexar County Historical Commission's series of Occasional Publications in Regional History.

  • A Welcome Compromise on Sales Tax Vote
    Editorial: A welcome compromise on sales tax vote Express-News Editorial Board July 24, 2020 Comments Riders climb aboard a VIA Primo bus back in 2015. We like the compromise between Mayor Ron Nirenberg and VIA Metropolitan Transit to meld workforce development and transit for a future sales tax vote. Photo: Billy Calzada /San Antonio Express-News We see a lot of potential good in a compromise between VIA Metropolitan Transit and Mayor Ron Nirenberg about how to deploy future sales tax dollars. This compromise, which voters will have to approve in November, would dedicate the city’s 1/8-cent sales tax to workforce development before shifting to improve public transit. In a world often framed in either/or terms, it was initially disheartening to see VIA’s board attempt to push ahead on a sales tax vote without any public consideration for workforce development in this COVID-19 moment. Yes, VIA has historically been underfunded, receiving far less in sales tax dollars than similar transit authorities in other major markets. And, yes, before the COVID-19 pandemic, Nirenberg and Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff were moving forward to shift sales tax dollars to VIA. But this pandemic has revealed stark inequities across San Antonio and a dire need to invest in workforce training. Roughly 160,000 San Antonians are out of work, and we have no idea when the people who support the hospitality industry will be comfortable flying again, much less eating in restaurants or attending conferences. The economic recovery is going to be a long slog, and this is an opportunity to create new skills for disenfranchised workers.
