San Antonio mayor's anti-Prop A stand a U-turn from prior support for cite and release, critic charges

Editor's Note: This story was updated to include a statement from Nirenberg clarifying his opposition to Proposition A. Social justice organizer Ananda Tomas is accusing San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg of hypocrisy after he publicly came out against Proposition A during a Tuesday night interview on KSAT-TV. The interview amounts to Nirenberg's first public statement about whether he supports the ballot measure, sometimes called the San Antonio Justice Charter. Prop A, which voters will decide on in the May 6 citywide election, would decriminalize cannabis and abortion while codifying a cite-and-release policy for petty crimes.
