Hardberger leads poll for SA mayoral race

MySA.com: Metro | State: "In a move that could dramatically impact the June 7 runoff for mayor, sudden frontrunner Phil Hardberger said today that he is opposed to a public referendum on a special taxing district that would raise money for a PGA Tour golf resort over the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone.

'I don't think it needs to go to a public vote,' Hardberger said. 'The deal has been made, and I don't like the taxing district, but we've made a deal and we've agreed on a contract.'

Hardberger's comments come on the heels of news that there has been a dramatic turn in his June 7 mayoral runoff against City Councilman Julián Castro.

In poll results that are to be released on News 4 WOAI tonight, Hardberger has surged ahead of Castro for the first time, 50 percent to 47 percent. His momentum appears to be aided by the support of Republican-leaning voters and the backing of developers and members of the business community who originally backed conservative Carroll Schubert, who placed third in the May 7 election."
