No public vote, no problem? SA Council moves forward on downtown arena

San Antonio City Council voted to move forward on Project Marvel — the planned $1.3 billion Spurs arena in downtown SA — without putting the city's contribution up for a public vote. The mayor pushed for one, council said no, and now construction could break ground within the year with a target completion of 2031. 💰 Taxpayers are on the hook for roughly $500 million. KSAT's Patty Santos has the full breakdown — from the $75 million community benefit agreement the mayor calls "not enough," to what supporters say could transform downtown into one of the most enviable cities in the country. A major update is expected in October, and you won't want to miss it. Watch the full story on ksat.com
