I learned a cool trick. If one leaves their wallet in their pocket passing thru TSA checkpoint in Austin they steal your shoes and grope your butt. Pretty cool way to start the day.

Holy smokes. This just happened.

I have no idea who this person is. They have no problem asking me for money tho.

Has it real been 6 years of paying for this with nothing to show for it but another article on the Internet. kxan.com/traffic/transportat…

Don't normally frequent fast food. For me @Wendys has always been pretty awesome but yesterday it was absolutely disgusting. Has it always been this bad or did I just catch them on a bad day? Started with the facility itself - basically a homeless shelter. Ended with the food in the trash mostly untouched.

It’s crazy that Austin’s city workers’ union helped write the rules for City Hall’s own audit, asked for a guarantee it couldn’t lead to job cuts, and is now bankrolling the campaign to stop voters from asking for a tougher audit. The people being audited are trying to pick their own auditor, regardless of what taxpayers want! Just a ridiculous conflict of interest. All the more reason why Austinites should vote yes on Proposition I. It would require the city to hire an outside firm to regularly review how the city spends money, looking for waste and ways to save. Before that got to the ballot, the City Council created its own version of an efficiency audit back in February. While Council was writing it, the city workers' union, an AFSCME chapter, sent a letter asking to help decide what the auditor would look at. It also had the audacity to ask to see the findings before the public did. And it asked for a guarantee that the audit couldn't recommend cutting jobs or hiring outside companies to do city work. Suddenly, an updated version of the audit draft mentioned protecting city worker and added a line saying the city should prefer recommendations that "minimize or avoid" layoffs and outsourcing. That same day, council also gave the union a standing seat at the table -- monthly meetings with city management about layoffs, department shakeups and using AI to replace workers. Now the union is fighting the voter version. In August, it gave $50,000 to the main campaign against Proposition I. That was 82% of all the money the campaign reported raising. A second anti-Prop I group started in September. Both groups have the same treasurer, which is the the union's business manager who signed the Feb letter. Put simply, the people whose jobs would be reviewed helped shape the audit Austin already has, and now they're paying to stop the one voters would get to impose! So who should decide how City Hall gets checked? The taxpayers paying for it, or the employees working there?

Another poor poll. 850 total responded with 4.5 percent margin of error. That's huge and could mean anything. Could be 40/50 either way or somewhere in between. They just happen to choose 45/45. How do they publish these. And who do we believe this trash.

Seems a bit of a disconnect by COA employees and their own City Manager. Waste has been identified and yet here we are with employees ignoring their own internal audits.

In some way we all have mental issues 🫪. Do we all get a pass or just the right demographics? Inquiring minds want to know.

Statement issued by New Day Austin, in response to today's AFSCME press conference opposing Prop I (and attended by six Council sycophants): 📷 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Statement from New Day Austin AUSTIN, TEXAS, October 7, 2026 Today’s press conference underscores exactly why Austin needs a new City Council and why Austin needs to mandate regular City efficiency audits in its Charter. Austin needs a new direction at City Hall. These incumbents and their self-serving special interests simply failed to get the drift from last fall’s defeat, by nearly a 2-to-1 margin, of their proposed 20% tax increase under Prop Q. As city employees, these union members are supposed to be public servants. That means they are supposed to serve the public, rather than the public serving them. They are, in fact, the most resistant force against change. The public deeply mistrusts the City Council’s spending decisions. The reckless City Council majority needs to be replaced with responsible citizens who will put the household budget ahead of the city budget, who will abide by the public will, and who will welcome the scrutiny for savings that a Prop I audit would mandate before going back to the voters and asking for more. How is it that an audit is good if the Council requires it, but bad if the public requires it? In a democracy, citizens create their government. They can vote directly on laws and policies, such as Prop I, and they can elect public officials to represent them. Elected officials derive their power from the public, not the other way around. Austin voters want the government to take a different direction. We have a golden opportunity to correct our course in the upcoming election. To that end, New Day Austin wholeheartedly supports five challengers who will do so, and we endorse the audit mandated by Proposition I. NewDayAustin.com

The only citizen led item on the ballot is Prop I, backed by a petition signed by over 20k voters. Everything else on the city ballot was proposed by City Council. Vote Aye on Prop I. Vote No on the rest.

I think there at least hundreds of City employees —union and non-union—who have seen the inefficiencies, lost opportunities, and ripoffs of taxpayers for years who will tip off our charter amendment auditor where to look for waste and corruption. I’ll guarantee anonymity to any City Employee who wants to blow the Whistle. Just call me or email me.

I looked at listings in my area. Several have star wars names but doesn't seem out of line with the area demographics. Would be interested to see if any realtors who see this have any perspective to share.

If you have Spotify ask for mariachi covers. You'll thank me later.

Might need to consider this when voting. Unfortunately a single senator can't make this happen.

My 86 year old mom does the same. I feel so much better knowing she has it as an option. Her last few vehicles get pretty banged up in parking lots, except the Tesla still looks uncrunched.
