SAN ANTONIO — A new twist has emerged in the fight over Project Marvel.
San Antonio non-profit Cops Metro is now taking legal action involving the state and San Antonio City Attorney’s office, arguing that its illegal for city councilmembers to take a stance on a vote for Bexar County.
They claim it makes them a part of the county campaign, while silencing opposition on Project Marvel.
Leaders with Cops Metro say the “no Project Marvel Coalition” also signed this complaint.

The non-profit says the plan for Project Marvel was rushed without public feedback
The group also worries about spending changes the city will have to make if the plan passes.
“We want projects done that are in our neighborhoods that benefit the people of San Antonio,” said Mike Phillips, Cops Metro Leader. “Not billionaire interests that just want another stadium.”
Phillips says despite their opposition to project marvel, they don’t have a stance on proposition a involving Bexar County wanting to upgrade the frost bank center and freeman coliseum.
Cops Metro wants to also give feedback at future town halls being ran by the city.
