San Antonio tax attorney John Atwood joins mayoral race

San Antonio tax attorney John Atwood filed the necessary campaign-finance paperwork over Labor Day weekend to join the crowded race to select San Antonio's next mayor. A tax attorney, small business owner and business professor at Herzing University online, Atwood told the Current his campaign will focus on correcting the city's looming budget deficit, fighting crime and fiscal responsibility. "Our city is on pace for a multi-million dollar deficit, crime is on the rise and our taxpayers cannot afford higher taxes," Atwood said.
