Well, the main one is that the APU is trying to stick it to Council for what went down with the contract last year. Throwing your hands up and claiming you can’t enforce things that are clearly illegal and telling Council that they’ve sent a message that they don’t want any of the laws still on the books to be enforced, which is what APD has done, is one way to do it.
The ordinance changes also mean that we don’t need cops to respond to nuisance calls, which reduces their workload, which undercuts the arguments for more officers. Public safety is a huuuuuge part of our budget and the contention between the costs of the police department and every other thing the city does is only going to get bigger when revenue caps hit.
HOT revenue can’t be used for any of that. There’s a specific list of things you can do with it.
After losing twice last year, I’m really hoping that losing twice again this year will convince people to stop giving money to Bunch/Lewis/Linder/ANC/etc.
I think there’s a good chance Flannigan runs. He has pretty good relationships in the business community, but not enough that someone else couldn’t solidify that base.
KVUE doing a great job of sensationalizing every encounter to drive up hatred of the homeless. They’re doing the same things they’ve always done. The media just sees an opportunity to sell a few ad clicks now.
And fuck a bunch of Mayor Kitchen. That would be the worst. Really hoping Jimmy or someone out of the business community is the next mayor.
Yep. I think they are just selling super premium club/suite tickets right now. Call was basically to figure out where my interest was. Seems like they are doing it in phases starting with the most expensive tickets first.
Lol. Save the Crew with all the Twitter bitching. It’s time to move on.
Austin Anthem launched a New Braunfels chapter today. Growing the legend to the south.
Crowd is stronger than I expected. Broadcast quality is shit.
Love the chants of “WE CAN’T HEAR YOU” from the traveling San Antonio fans to the alleged Bold supporters section.
