San Antonio councilman's staff raised questions about Southtown bar before raid, emails show

Despite Councilman Mario Bravo's denial that his office initiated a raid last month on a Southtown bar, emails obtained by the Current show that one of his staffers repeatedly contacted code enforcement officials to raise questions about that nightspot a few weeks earlier. The revelation comes as St. Mary’s Strip and Southtown business owners allege that Bravo’s District 1 office is unfairly targeting bars and restaurants in the popular entertainment areas to appease downtown-area neighborhood associations. Tensions between neighbors and businesses in those two areas are strained over concerns about noise, parking, crime and litter.
