Enjoyed supporting Clean Water Action at their benefit last night. Heard remarks from their statewide director Becky Smith and guest speaker Schuyler Wight on the importance of water stewardship and education in Texas. #DavidForAtx #CleanWaterActionATX

City Council is approving rezoning cases without enough thought, and I spoke with Austin Free Press about it. Residents deserve better than questionable priorities and results that don’t deliver. Read more: austinfreepress.org/rubber-stamp #DavidForATX #ATXCityCouncil

For 61 years, this one of a kind celebration has brought Austinites together. A true local tradition, made possible year after year by the non-profit Friends of the Forest Foundation. Happy Birthday, Eeyore! #EeyoresBirthday #KeepAustinWeird #AustinTX #ATXEvents #AustinLife

It’s funky, free-spirited, and completely Austin, Eeyore’s Birthday Party never disappoints. #EeyoresBirthdayParty #KeepAustinWeird #DavidForATX

Item 39 is a step forward, bringing the Community Development Commission into the rezoning application process for properties with existing multifamily and affordable housing. At the end of the day, it’s about how Council approaches these decisions. #DavidForATX #AustinHousing

Residents have made it clear they want a deeper look at the MoPac South expansion. A full Environmental Impact Statement that actually align with our environmental and mobility goals are essential. Thank you to Council for taking this step. #DavidForATX #MoPacSouth #bettermopac

I spoke at City Council yesterday in support of Item 37, the “Safe to Call” process which ensures residents can call for emergency services with safety and protection. No one, especially immigrants, should be afraid to call for help. #DavidForATX #StandWithImmigrants

Unlike last month’s “public hearing,” tonight’s MoPac South Town Hall did it right. Full agenda of speakers, helpful information, and real opportunities for residents to speak. #DavidForATX #MoPacSouth #AustinTX #PublicInput

THIS is how real public input is done. Thank you to the Better MoPac Coalition for doing what others wouldn’t, giving residents real answers and a real voice on the MoPac South expansion. Weigh in by May 3rd: ph.mopacsouth.com #DavidForATX #MoPacSouth #AustinTX
