City Council criticized for not naming Mexican American manager
Two leaders of large Mexican American civic groups criticized San Antonio’s City Council on Friday for not considering a Mexican American for city manager. George Rivas said the council erred in promoting Loyd Hunt, arguing the city with a 50 percent Mexican American population would be better served by a Mexican American manager. Octaviano Trevino called the selection a rushed decision and urged screening of Mexican American applicants, saying the appointment would not improve relations with the community.
