2025 Thread of the Rains
It is not the individual water districts. It is the LCRA then the WTCPUA and Austin that set the tone for Austin and west of Austin. Once they go to stage 1 then the water districts will follow suit. If the districts go first then the LCRA and the PUA can fine the districts themselves.

Texas -- a failed state
I am on the board of a local water district. The county keeps asking for us to buy Flock cameras for our neighborhood so they can get hits of stolen cars and what not. It has been a hard no from me for a few years. Myself and another couple members have been able to head it off. Fuck that shit.

Check Out This Fucking Sandwich
Chicken cutlet, fried prosciutto, tomato, arugula, garlic confit, burrata, balsamic glaze, pesto and grated Parmesan on a French bread load. Possibly the best sandwich I have ever had.

Mansfield School Board vote
Didn't happen in Dripping. A board member whose husband is actively fighting to defund public schools won re-election.

Tariff wars, they have began
I didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn, but I recall reading somewhere that it is applied on arrival. I would interpret that as when it reaches the port. That means we are all fucked.

Abbott being Abbott
Just like at UT. Everyone was to return in August full time. There aren’t enough spaces for everyone, so most administrative people are still only going in 2 or 3 days a week.

The destruction of America's public education system
yep, this proposed increase is a distraction. They are hoping that teachers won't openly be against vouchers since they are getting theirs.

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
This, I want to see the evangelicals explain this one. I used to be part of all that shit. Very curious to see how people I know still in that shit react.

The destruction of America's public education system
The bonds are paid off with property taxes. They separate property taxes between M&O and I&S(bond debt service). Two different buckets that can't be used to pay for the other. The little funds that the state does give go to M&O.

The destruction of America's public education system
We desperately need one. The High School is already over capacity and they are forecasting that by the time this one opens(if approved) that they will be between 800-1000 students over capacity. If it opens on time then it will be after my kids are through with school out here. Still need it and I will still support it.

The destruction of America's public education system
This school is out in Dripping Springs and the MAGA folks are trying to keep it off all the social media neighborhood groups. It is especially maddening since DSISD is trying to pass a bond this May for a 2nd high school. The voucher and property taxes are too high folks are making a push to defeat the bond. It doesn't matter that the state mandates that this is how schools are built and they keep voting those fuckers in for the last 30+ years.
