“I think the court really emphasized that we want to protect the citizens that are out in the incorporated areas,” Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff said of the final budget.
says local governments must call an election if they want to reduce their spending on law enforcement from one year to the next, making it difficult to remove positions once they’re added.
The budget approved Tuesday also adds $780,000 to allow the sheriff’s department to hire for some of the dozens of civilian openings at the county jail that it was barred from filling after the beginning of the pandemic. “Freezing that position was catastrophic to us because in some instances we were flying blind, or we had to then pull a deputy off the street to learn how to do that job and to perform that function for us,” Salazar said.
