Group files complaint alleging San Antonio police union illegally used dues for 2021 political campaign
A police reform group alleges in a state filing that San Antonio's powerful police union illegally used member dues to finance campaigns opposing a 2021 ballot measure that would have stripped the union of its collective bargaining power. The complaint, filed Monday, with the Texas Ethics Commission alleges that the San Antonio Police Officers' Association (SAPOA) made more than $600,000 in illegal donations to political entities fighting the ballot initiative known as Proposition B. SAPOA officials were unavailable for immediate comment on the complaint, which was filed by police reform group ACT 4 SA.
