Sinkhole Opens in Central S.A.
By: Fox S.A. Staff
There are fears a sinkhole is expanding just north of downtown San Antonio.
Someone noticed the hole on McCoullough near Cypress around noon Tuesday and called 911.
Police showed up to block off the area and since then the hole has expanded to about two feet wide.
San Antonio Water System crews took over the area a few hours later and determined the sinkhole was caused by a water main break underground.
S.A.W.S. crews worked into the evening to try and contain the underground leak and keep the sinkhole from expanding further.

Technicality topples key financial reporting bill
May 22, 2013 02:25 GMT
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- A much-watched bill designed to give the public more information on schools, taxes, government spending and debt held by state entities has gone down on a House technicality.
The measure was sponsored by Sen. Tommy Williams, who chairs the Senate's powerful Finance Committee. It was carried in the House by Rep. Jim Pitts, head of appropriations.
The bill would have required increased disclosure by public bodies. But it died Tuesday night, after San Antonio Democratic Rep. Philip Cortez raised a parliamentary objection.
Critics worried it could place undo reporting burdens on smaller entities. But modifications to address those concerns had helped the bill sail through the Senate 29-1.
The bill was backed by conservative and tea party groups worried about excessive government bond debt. Some good-government groups also supported it.
