Jefferson: Taking stock on SA Inc.'s first anniversary FacebookTwitterEmail We launched SA Inc. a year ago, at the worst possible time. As we were planning it — defining its mission, its tone and how it would look — I kept expecting a call from the Express-News’ editor or publisher conveying this message: “Never mind. Recessions are hard.” I even had my response ready: “Devastating news. Reality — so mean sometimes. Well, I’ll just get back to what I was doing before.” Obviously, that message never arrived from our higher-ups, and I’m grateful it didn’t. Looking back on 52 issues of SA Inc., it’s been an accurate barometer of the chaos the pandemic unleashed on San Antonio’s economy — on the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of San Antonians and businesses of all sizes — and of the city’s ongoing recovery.
