SAN ANTONIO (September 18, 2025) – Today, City Councilmember Meza Gonzalez voted to approve the Fiscal Year 2026 Budget, which amounts to $4.06 billion. This significant financial commitment reflects District 8’s core priorities: strengthening public safety, improving infrastructure, investing in parks, and addressing homelessness.

Despite the challenges of working within a deficit, this financial commitment reflects District 8’s top priorities — responsible, forward-looking, and firmly rooted in the needs of the residents.

“Every decision required us to weigh our resources against our responsibilities, and at times, that meant making tough choices that aren’t taken lightly,” said the District 8 Councilmember. “I am proud of the work we have done, and remain committed to ensuring that as we face the challenges of the years ahead, the voices and priorities of District 8 will continue to guide my decisions.”
