What’s on the ballot
Bexar County voters will determine whether the county can allocate funds to two venues: the Frost Bank Center and a proposed new downtown arena for the San Antonio Spurs.
County leaders are breaking the matter into two different questions on the ballot. Each proposition would raise an existing tax on hotels and rental cars, respectively, to generate funds.
Yes, it’s a tax. But Bexar County, Spurs brass and rodeo bosses are going to great pains to drive the message home to people living in the county: It’s a tax on tourists, not locals.
See the full Bexar County sample ballot below:
Proposition A pertains to money for Frost Bank Center, where the Spurs currently play, for upgrades and improvements as the county looks to a future without the NBA five-time champions taking the court. The idea is that the San Antonio Stock Show would take over and hold year-round events.
>> Voters to decide on upgrades to county-owned Coliseum grounds on Nov. 4 ballot
According to the county, if voters approve, the tax could raise as much as $192 million.
Proposition B is the one that could provide some funding for the downtown arena, provided voters give it the go-ahead. It wouldn’t pay for the whole thing, but it’s not an insignificant amount: around $310 million toward the arena’s projected price tag of $1.3 billion.
>> Venue tax hike for new Spurs arena goes to Bexar County voters in November
There are four ways this could play out: Both measures pass, both fail, Prop. A passes but Prop. B fails, and vice versa.
The next moves will be a reaction to the outcome on Nov. 4.
If voters approve, the tax could be used to raise about $192 million. The county already has an additional $48 million on hand from what the tax has already generated.
Also on the ballot for all Texas voters are 17 constitutional amendments.
>> 17 statewide propositions will appear on the November ballot. Here’s what Texas voters need to know.
This is standard operating procedure following a legislative session.
The majority of passed bills can be put into law with a signature from Gov. Greg Abbott. But any changes to the constitution have to be approved by voters.
