Doctor says city fired him over stance against sodas
On July 22, the city of San Antonio fired its Health Director with a terse, one-sentence termination letter. The stated reason? A “personnel matter.” But the now-former director says it has more to do with his strong stance against the influence of soft-drink companies on public-health policies. City officials say his claim is false.
