Councilman Marc Whyte wants San Antonio to adopt a zero-based budget

District 10 City Councilman Marc Whyte on Thursday filed a Council Consideration Request (CCR) asking the city to adopt a zero-based budget by the 2027 fiscal year. A zero-based budget would effectively start each annual budget from zero dollars, forcing city departments to justify every expense in front of the council, Whyte explained during a recent appearance on KLRN’s On the Record. Whyte's CCR is a necessary step to bringing his proposal to debate before the full council at a later date.
