By an 8 to 3 vote, the San Antonio City Council approved its $2.2 billion budget Thursday, with a few amendments made after multiple public hearings and ongoing debates.The first item listed under the heading, "Expenditure Adjustments," had a special significance for me:"Add resources to fully restore staff to Music program to Parks and Recreation Department rather than using contract services - $144,997"
