Mayor Jones pushed to put the city’s $500 million Spurs arena contribution to a voter vote, arguing for civic input on a generational investment—but her plan hit a wall. Six of ten council members oppose it, saying county approval already settled the matter and that another vote would waste time and money without solving the city’s budget woes. Critics also slammed the mayor’s memo as misleading, noting arena funds can’t be diverted to streets or public safety. Despite the setback and tight August 17 deadline, Jones remains hopeful, calling the opposition surprising—and insists voters deserve a say on such a massive commitment.
