This week, On The Record with Randy Beamer, we talk with City Manager Erik Walsh about the upcoming city budget, and how he expects to trim it down with a deficit of $158 million dollars.  He also discusses why taxpayers in the city will likely be facing a tax increase. 

On Reporter’s Roundtable, Michael Karlis, reporter with the SA Current, talks to Randy about his recent story on the new Superintendent of SAISD and the controversy surrounding that appointment.  Also, why large buoys in the Rio Grande meant to keep out immigrants ended up being sold as scrap metal.
