San Antonio’s City Council narrowly rejected putting the city’s $500 million arena contribution on the ballot, denying taxpayers a direct vote — even as the Spurs, city, and county already have a deal. Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones, who’s opposed since taking office, pushed for a new economic study and stalled negotiations, but her efforts failed. Spurs legend Sean Elliott rallied support, calling the team’s Finals run a symbol of San Antonio’s grit and potential to revitalize the Eastside. Though voters won’t decide on the city’s funding, they’ll vote on related infrastructure bonds. The Spurs will cover any overruns, while the city and county contribute capped shares — a plan they say keeps the vision alive and moving forward.
