The resource for law enforcement to help victims of domestic violence was almost cut because a grant through the city was set to end.
SAN ANTONIO — The Bexar County Commissioners Court is now left having to figure out how to fund an internalnavigation line after a last minute warning that the city grant funding the program ended in September.
"The notice to the court, to me particularly, did not hit us until after the budget was se, which I found unacceptable. Not only is this just moving this money around, we're going to have to figure out how to pay for this program," said Judge Peter Sakai. The victims can also be provided with food and gift cards. To avoid cutting services, on Tuesday Commissioner Court approved a 3 month extension at a cost of $291,993.
