Last week we heard from COPS/METRO making their case against Prop B and Project Marvel.We give equal time to the pro-Prop B side as they are explaining why raising the venue tax is a generational investment in San Antonio’s future. Supporters argue that the new arena would bring economic benefits and secure the Spurs' long-term presence in San Antonio.

More people opposed using the venue tax to support the arena than supported it in the poll, but neither position reached a majority.
