Police presence at central library raises questions

This week On The Record with Randy Beamer, we talk with the interim Director of the San Antonio Library, Kathy Donellan, about the pilot program using police presence at the Central Library downtown.  A group of activists is fighting the program, saying the police presence sends the wrong message to immigrants who use the library. It’s been almost a year since Frank Ritchie was elected Mayor of Boerne. Randy talks with him about balancing the aesthetics of Boerne’s quaint hill country feel with the explosive growth in that area. On Reporter’s Roundtable, Express-News/Houston Chronicle Columnist Chris Tomlinson discusses his recent columns on the extensive water and power needs of the new Samsung chip plant near Austin, and Lt. Governor Dan Patrick’s efforts to do away with property taxes in Texas. Generous support for On The Record on KLRN is provided by Steve and Adele Dufilho.
