Thornton is an American politician who was from 1995 to 1997 the mayor of San Antonio, Texas.[1] He succeeded Nelson Wolff and was himself followed by Howard Peak,[2] after Thornton finished third in his bid for reelection.[3] During the 1997 mayoral election, public relations consultant T. J. Connolly defected from Thornton to Peak's campaign and was subsequently reported to the police for stalking Thornton and his wife. The incident was investigated by the police found no basis for the charge. Connolly describes the incident as "a cold, calculated, well-planned political move".[3] Thornton was a noted proponent for proposals to restore and expand San Antonio's historic center in the area around the Alamo,[4] as well as a supporter of tax abatements to promote tourism through the construction of new hotels.[5] His term as mayor was marked by tension between the mayor and members of the city council (including his ultimate successor Howard Peak).[6] Thornton was born in Abilene, Texas. He moved to San Antonio in 1963 to attend Trinity University. Two years later, he moved to Dallas to attend dental school, before returning to San Antonio in 1972.[7] He has a doctoral degree in dental surgery from Texas A&M University Baylor College of Dentistry.[8] Thornton's professional career was as an oral surgeon.[9] {{As of|2015|10}}, Thornton and his wife were living in Manhattan.[10] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://sanantonio.bizjournals.com/sanantonio/stories/2004/03/15/daily21.html|title=Former mayor appointed chair of regional mobility authority|date=March 17, 2004|work=San Antonio Business Journal|accessdate=February 26, 2010}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Thornton, Bill}}{{Mayors of San Antonio, Texas}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.sanantonio.gov/MunicipalArchivesRecords/AboutArchivesRecords/MayorsandAlcaldes.aspx|title=Mayors and Alcaldes|publisher=City of San Antonio|accessdate=July 5, 2016}} 3. ^1 {{cite news|url=http://www.sacurrent.com/sanantonio/news-party-lines/Content?oid=2276597|title=News: Party lines|first=Michael|last=Cary|work=San Antonio Current|date=May 17, 2006|accessdate=July 5, 2016}} 4. ^Michael Kilian, "Battleground: Once Again The Alamo Is The Site Of A Bitter Campaign Waged To Determine Autonomy", Chicago Tribune, April 24, 1995. 5. ^{{cite book|author=Char Miller|title=Deep in the Heart of San Antonio: Land and Life in South Texas|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GkTpCAAAQBAJ&pg=PA172|year=2012|publisher=Trinity University Press|isbn=978-1-59534-121-1|page=172}} 6. ^Jan Jarboe Russell, "Alamodoomed", Texas Monthly, April 1997. 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://digital.utsa.edu/cdm/ref/collection/p15125coll4/id/761|title=Interview with William E.
