Infuse SA

“Kelly Reid Walls, an animal welfare activist involved in the government accountability group Infuse SA accused Nirenberg of breaking the city ethics code on more than 40 occasions dating back to 2023.”

👊🏻💥

The panel found that Nirenberg inappropriately used city resources for content on his campaign page. It brushed off a complaint regarding a jersey he failed to mention on a finance report.

With City of San Antonio - Municipal Government and sanantonioacs officials directing residents to leave strays and lost pets to suffer in the streets, it’s not surprising to see typhus cases on the rise in San Antonio.

Phyllis Viagran City Councilwoman District 3 was waxing poetic today that former Mayor Julian Castro was responsible for implementing the No Kill animal welfare plan in San Antonio.

And City Council District 10 Councilman Marc Whyte appeared happy to wallow in that lie.

Their duet no doubt was carefully orchestrated to discredit Gina Ortiz Jones but their revisionist history should not go unchecked.

The No Kill framework actually was established in 2006 by former Mayor Phil Hardberger.

Viagran required a very tall soapbox during her virtue signaling session - specifically declaring that pets are for life!

Yet she forgot to mention that her No Kill hero Julian Castro quickly got rid of his dog when he got married because the new bride didn’t want animals in the house.

While we believe that individuals should understand that pet ownership ideally is a lifetime commitment, it often is not possible for a variety of reasons to include serious medical illness, disability, loss of housing, etc.

So what happens when a San Antonio pet owner requests to surrender their pet to ACS?

“Well, obviously the goal is not to take in the animal at the shelter.”

That shocking statement was uttered by ACS Director Jon Gary.

Pet owners facing unexpected crises will now be shamed by ACS and their city council representatives. The city now has signaled they don’t care what happens to pets who need assistance and often have no choice but to abandon their pets.

This is utterly unacceptable - especially since ACS is asking for $33.6 million for Fiscal Year 2026.

Also keep in mind:

• Citizens can be cited for providing water to strays.

• If you pick up a dog for a microchip scan, the city now says 311 will tell citizens don’t expect help from ACS if the dog is not chipped. It is now your responsibility to find placement for the dog.

• If you pick up a community dog to get it vaccinated or spayed/neuter and return it back to the community, you could be fined $2,000.

In other words, citizens shouldn’t be concerned with animal suffering. As long as the city get a new Spurs area, the city is okay with tens of thousands of sick and starving dogs and cats roaming the streets.

Finally, though several council members asserted this ordinance amendment was needed because of the number of San Antonio residents who were killed by dogs, not one single fatality in the last decade was caused by an abandoned dog. Every dog that killed a human was owned.

Fresh off a push to pass an ordinance amendment that would allow the city to fine children who trap and release frogs, City Council District 10 Councilmember Marc Whyte now apparently believes women should be paid less than male counterparts.

According to OpenPayroll, former Mayor Ron Nirenberg's Communications Strategist Bruce Davidson received an annual salary of $137,697.04.

So it would appear Mayor ginaortizjonestx actually saves taxpayers $17,000 per year.

Good morning to everyone except City of San Antonio - Municipal Government City Council District 10 Councilman Marc Whyte.

Our brilliant City Council and sanantonioacs drafted an ordinance amendment - WITHOUT ZERO PUBLIC INPUT - that establishes fines up to $2,000 for anyone who traps ANY animal and then releases the animal.

City council and ACS believe the new amendment will deter dog and cat abandonment. It will not.

A state statute already criminalizes animal abandonment. Yet thousands of dogs and cats are abandoned each year. The majority of these cases are never investigated. And securing a conviction is even rarer.

In fact, both 311 and ACS routinely direct Good Samaritans to return found animals back to the streets.

If this amendment passes on Thursday, the city now can prosecute the Good Samaritans who follow their instructions.

Even more ludicrous is the wording in this ordinance makes it more likely a child trapping a frog could be fined but an owner abandoning a dog at a park could not.

Because to secure an animal abandonment conviction under the proposed amendment, a person has to first trap an animal and then release the animal.

A child who catches and releases a frog or an earthworm for a biology project has violated the ordinance.

Whereas an owner abandoning a dog at a park does not because the dog was not trapped prior to the abandonment.

Good news: Your child enjoyed a biology lesson.

Bad news: It cost $2,000.

Will Pre-K for SA buses be diverted to Municipal Court to face the wrath of Judge Lisa Gonzales if a pre-schooler inadvertently smuggles a roly poly in their lunchbox?

Will KENS 5, KSAT, or News 4 San Antonio News chyrons soon flash across TV screens with rage bait headlines?

"BREAKING NEWS: San Antonio kids fined for giving frogs new zip codes”

"SAN ANTONIO: Where dog dumpers get away but frog catchers pay”

Too many council members are using this amendment to virtue signal that they care about animals while refusing to acknowledge the root cause of pet abandonment.

Send this amendment to the trash bin and start from the beginning with true public input.

It’s disappointing to see a City of San Antonio - Municipal Government cosa_d6 staffer put out false information about a proposed amendment to Chapter 5.

There is no Chapter 5 ordinance that specifically defines the elements of animal abandonment.

It’s also false that “what's being proposed now is an update to increase the fine, not to create a new law.”

The proposed amendment absolutely does add a new section to Chapter 5 to address animal abandonment.

Pro tip: Perhaps read the proposed draft language before gaslighting residents.

“Affordable” Housing

This event might be worth attending (despite some grammatical issues with this flyer).

Housing bonds are paid off by YOUR property taxes … until of course you’re able to make the logical outside city limits.

This budget is more than 2% higher than last year, employees affected by the staff cuts will be “offered other positions at the city” … 🤔

Before Andrew Solano became a political consultant for the Spurs, he was the Chief of Staff for District 1 Councilwoman Sukh Kaur.

One of his most solemn responsibilities was to remind the councilwoman when she needed to wash her hair.

When Councilwoman Kaur yesterday voted to move a sweetheart deal forward for Peter Holt and the Spurs, she appeared to have freshly washed hair.

It clearly was just a happy coincidence in the totally ethical city council chambers that the councilwoman had freshly washed hair AND voted the way a Spurs political consultant would want her to vote, right? 🤩
