This week On The Record, host Randy Beamer talks with District 5 Council member Teri Castillo, who proposed the council’s just approved resolution in support of women’s healthcare and abortion rights. Castillo breaks down the resolution- what it will do, and what it won’t do.
Next we look at a proposal by the city’s sustainability department to help San Antonio cut energy use by requesting big buildings to adhere to energy standards and report their annual energy consumption. Chief sustainability officer Doug Melnick explains more about the idea of “benchmarking”, and why they hope the city will adopt and enforce it.
Then, San Antonio’s Department of Arts and Culture Executive Director Krystal Jones joins Randy to explain how the city chooses public art. She also shares how the public can help in these decisions for the next group of public art pieces going up in the city.
Finally, on Reporter’s Roundtable, Sanford Nowlin, Editor-In-Chief of the SA Current, details his article on Texas media organizations and why they are suing the Texas Department of Public Safety over blocked public information regarding the law enforcement response to the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde.
