San Antonio Faces $158 Million Deficit, Threatening Funding for 15 Organizations

San Antonio is projected to face a $158 million budget deficit by 2027, prompting city leaders to consider significant funding cuts. Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones has called on local businesses and philanthropic leaders to provide financial support to prevent cuts to 15 community organizations, including the San Antonio Botanical Garden and the Martin Luther King Jr. Commission. Without external funding, these organizations risk losing city support, which could lead to increased property taxes to cover the shortfall. The mayor has reached out to major local companies, such as USAA and Valero, for assistance, but has yet to receive responses.
