On Wednesday, April 11, several groups including the San Antonio Firefighters Association and some grassroots conservative groups held a rally that unhinged the SA City Hall and Establishment, again. To show their displeasure, the City did its best to disrupt the rally by blocking off the public area in front of city hall.
That did not deter the rally participants as they cheered for the three petitions that would limit the city's power, and by definition, Mayor Ron Nirenberg's and City Manager Sheryl Sculley's power. The three petitions:
- Require arbitration in lieu of litigation that costs the taxpayers when there's an impasse in collective bargaining. The half million-dollar city manager has chosen to sue the SAFFA and spend taxpayer money on costly attorneys, rather bargain with the Firefighters.
