San Antonio's biggest-ever bond issue now has the approval of the city's voters. The billion-dollar bond package consists of six separate proposals for streets, parks and recreation, drainage, public safety, libraries and culture, and for the first time in San Antonio, affordable housing. Voters approved all six proposals in Saturday's election, giving them anywhere from 60% to 72% of the vote. The bond will pay for a total of 183 projects. City officials insist that it won't result in an increase in the property tax rate.
