State Senator J Franklin Spears said compliance with a state law setting minimum weed for police and firemen will reach San Antonio once higher courts validate the act. He noted base pay to £150 monthly, six day workweeks, and two weeks paid vacation, with Houston appealing to the Supreme Court. Commissioner Phil Wright warned costs and tax impacts, while Spears argued savings and economies could fund the changes without a tax hike. The law took effect April 19, 1987.
