SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio voters are just a day away from deciding the fate of a contentious ballot measure, Proposition B, and both sides are trying to make their last-minute cases to voters.
Prop B would strip San Antonio police officers of the power to collectively bargain for a contract. Supporters of the ballot measure believe it’s a step toward more officer accountability, while opponents say it could make it harder to recruit and retain officers.
