The San Antonio Police Department has a severe shortage of officers. I have a plan to increase the amount of officer from the 78 on the 2023 budget to 300 additional new officers funded by cutting certain failed programs in the 2023 budget. I believe this amount of New Police officers can significantly reduce crime with proactive policing rather than the reactive understaffed policing we now have.

Winesburg, Ohio is a 1919 short story cycle by the American author Sherwood Anderson.
I found this 104 year old book I found in a thrift store book shelf...it stopped me when I had seen it. I pulled from in between to larger books with such care I though it would turn to dust holding it. I open it and view the copywrite date as 1919. My Grandmother's on my mothers side birth year. I leafed through the pages carefully till I came to the first title of the first chapter. It read, "THE BOOK OF THE GROTESQUE" About an old man who wanted to look out of a window at trees but could not because the window was too high. So he hired an old civil war veteran carpenter to build up his own bed. Well I was hooked. The book is about wonderful tales told by fascinating everyday citizens of a small boring fictional city in Ohio written by a young Newspaper reporter. It was a joy to read because it is similar where I grew up in Sunrise Beach, Llano, San Antonio, Texas.
"Nothing Compares 2 U" Sinéad O'Connor.
The Executive of all City departments he is a leader to them and all the citizens of San Antonio. To be responsible for all. To carry the burden if need be during tough times and to help make San Antonio the best place to do business Travel to and to live. This is what I believe a Mayor San Antonio means to me.
Efficiency of City government operate in a manner of reducing the Bureaucracy and saving the taxpayer money buy cutting unnecessary over budgeted programs and departments.
Co operation with funding and grants in shared programs. less government and regulation. What is good for San Antonio is good for Texas.
Same as the State relationship.
Fund Law enforcement and in turn Reduce Crime better for the Mayor and the city.
