My First Post as a BOR writer

It seems a little strange writing an introductory post as a new Burnt Orange Report writer but it's probably in order in this new phase of BOR. When Phillip and the team asked me to write for BOR on San Antonio and general topics I was a little apprehensive, thinking this would be more work in an already busy schedule. But really it's just an extension of the writing I do today for my local blog - Concerned Citizens. Most likely I'll be posting entries in both sites about things happening in San Antonio.

It will be exciting to write about San Antonio in the coming months, especially during the administration of our new mayor, Mayor Julian Castro. San Antonio just recently celebrated the 175th anniversary of the battle of the Alamo. In seven years San Antonio will celebrate its tricentennial and will be in the final stages of our visioning process, SA2020. What better way to help spread the news of a city that has played such a major role in Texas history than to write about its current politics.

I don't profess to know all that's going on in San Antonio politics and will rely on the help of others. Please feel free to write me if you have information or ideas at bor@randybear.com. I can't guarantee I'll write on everything but will try to cover as much as I can.
