A total of 56,983 votes were cast, 21 percent of the registered voters in the city. It was the largest turnout ever in San Antonio for a special election. After the referendum, the SA city council, which originally approved commercial zoning for the land on which the mall was to be built, got slapped with a $4.5 million damage suit by the mall developers. The suit also asks a state court to rule on whether a zoning permit can be voided by a referendum. If the court says that the referendum was legal, then the plaintiffs want the city to pay them the $4.5 million. Now San Antonio environmentalists are taking up a new cudgel, the im pending sale of $60 million in city bonds, $10 million of which will go to finance the city’s share of a nuclear power plant at Bay City. A group called the Solar Energy Coalition of Texas has launched a petition drive calling for a referendum on the bond issue because of the nuclear funds. It’s fairly unusual for such citizens’ initiatives to be used to influence public policy in Texas, although they’ve been used with some effect in recent years in Colorado and California.

The Jan. 24 guest was George Coffee, the new manager of Lowell Lebermann LincolnMercury. \(Lebermann, a city council member, recently bought the LincolnMercury dealership from former Austin Mayor Roy Butler, who traded it in on a Program moderator Jim Batson asked Coffee: “Will the change in ownership mean any changes in the quality of service offered at Lowell Lebermann LincolnMercury?” “No it certainly won’t,” Coffee replied. “We intend to continue to offer the same high quality service as in the past.” “What is the typical customer at Lowell Lebermann Lincoln-Mercury looking for in the way of an automobile today?” And so it went. Mike Smith, a local reporter, asked Batson about the show. Batson told him it is logged by KTVV as public service programming.
