Mayor Ron Nirenberg wants to know 'Who got rich while Texans suffered?'
With many San Antonio residents still reeling from February’s devastating winter storm, Mayor Ron Nirenberg opens up about the aftermath.
In a sit-down interview with Randy Beamer, Nirenberg talks about the city’s role and problems dealing with the sudden blackouts. He talks about when the city learned of ERCOT’s power crisis and what happened from there.
He also gets into how local agencies responded and communicated trying to cope with the freeze, blackouts and water disruptions – and how quickly the city is making changes to improve things.
And Nirenberg speaks out about the state’s role in what happened, and his efforts to make sure San Antonians don’t bear the brunt of the huge costs of energy during the blackouts.
In response to the pandemic, the Mayor speaks up about the importance of masks. [Note: We recorded this interview one day before Governor Greg Abbott announced his decision to open up Texas 100% and remove the state mask mandate.]
And on a very surprising personal note, Nirenberg tells Randy how very close he came to taking an entirely different path in life and working in sports media!
He opens up about the reason he turned down a BIG job offer from an iconic company in the northeast and moved to San Antonio instead.
Nirenberg was elected Mayor in 2017 before winning re-election in 2019. Prior to that, he served two terms as Councilman for District 8 in San Antonio.
