  • The San Antonio City Council voted to give City Manager Erik Walsh a nearly $90,000 raise on Thursday, just weeks after voters eliminated a salary cap for the position.

The San Antonio City Council has approved an $87,000 raise for City Manager Erik Walsh, increasing his salary from $387,000 to $474,000, making him one of the highest-paid city managers in the U.S. Additionally, the council voted to remove the term limit from Walsh's contract, allowing him to serve indefinitely. This decision was made despite some public opposition, with critics arguing that the raise was excessive and that the city should focus on other priorities like infrastructure and public services. Proponents of the raise, including Mayor Ron Nirenberg, justified it by citing Walsh's successful management during challenging times, including the city's response to the COVID-19 pandemic and natural disasters. The vote was 9-2 in favor of the raise and term change.
