@oltorf @JenRobichaux Isn't she the one that single-handedly increases the length of city council meetings by 30-45 minutes because she thinks commenting on every friggin item is helpful?
English

.@JenRobichaux preparing to present herself as a nonpartisan independent concerned citizen without realizing her history of Republican Party loyalty is part of the public record! Jen, there’s nothing “WRONG” (per se) with being a Republican. LYING, on the other hand, is a SIN!!

In case you've forgotten how Austin politics work, here's a prime example. A lobbyist for St David's (Michael Whellan) texts @CMZoQadri on the dias while discussing the ordinance for safety bollards in front of hospitals. Zo can be seen reading directly from his phone on what to say. Zo then moves to postpone the vote. Also voting to postpone, @VanessaForATX and @joseforatx after receiving phone calls from the same lobbyist who by the way donated to their campaigns. Great work here by @MattGrantKXAN for bringing the receipts.

@reddotaustintx @cmkristalaine D6 got really bad under Mackenzie Kelly but looks like it’s getting better these past two months
English

@cmkristalaine The illegal encampments are coming back to D6, seems they all know you'll allow them unlike your predecessor. They come with fire hazards, harassment of local residents, burglary/theft, and poop buckets.

@cmkristalaine Amazing! So glad we have a real council member now !

@DocumentingATX @kristaforaustin She’s better than Mackenzie Kelly

@DocumentingATX Nowhere near all time highs… why must you always fearmonger? Must suck to live with so much fear

@MBullockATX There ya go… every tweet doesn’t need to be about whining about our DA… grow up

Two suspects burglarizing homes and shooting at people - caught thanks to the help of license plate readers or LPRs.
This is why it’s so critical for our department to have access to this type of technology. It’s a force multiplier amongst an ongoing staffing crisis and an incredible investigative tool that leads to catching criminals who are a threat Austinites.
Two violent criminals off our streets thanks to the work of your APD officers and LPRs!

@MattMackowiak Horrible idea. We have Round Rock Express and the Longhorns, what makes you think there’s enough room for MLB?
English

MySA: A recent ESPN report mentioned Austin as a possible candidate among several other cities that the league could franchise in. Earlier this year, ESPN made a case for a possible MLB expansion in Austin or San Antonio after the MLB announced it was seeking to potentially expand into 32 new cities.
This effort is already being spearheaded with the Austin Baseball Commission founded in early July to bring the MLB to the state's capital city. ATX MLB co-founders Derrik Fox and Matt Mackowiak told MySA in a statement that they "have been aware of the unique issues in Tampa and will explore any option for relocation."
"Since we launched the Austin Baseball Commission in June, our goal has been to bring a MLB franchise to Austin, whether that be through the league’s planned expansion in 2029 or through relocation," Fox and Mackowiak said. "Austin is the strongest market under consideration and the business, community, fan, and political support for ATXMLB.com has been fantastic in a very short time."

@Jennifer4Austin @DocumentingATX @FAFOFarmsTX Didn’t Clint come in dead last place? So you not only run in losing campaigns but you look up to other losing campaigns too? 😂

@DocumentingATX D1 voted for this over a salt-of-the-earth combat veteran, Clinton Rarey, who actually knew the issues and cared about restoring Austin. SMDH @FAFOFarmsTX

@MBullockATX Did you go to law school? Stick to donuts and churning out undertrained officers. It’s what you do best

This will be one to watch. Does Garza give this violent criminal a sweetheart plea deal or let him out on bond even though he’s charged with:
- 7 counts of Indecency with a Child
- 3 counts of Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child, and
- 1 count of Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Child.
This violent criminal who already fled to Panama once has no business being free to prey on children. Will DA Garza actually prosecute this case to make sure he never has that opportunity is the real question.

.@USMarshalsHQ have captured Henry Torres, who was indicted in Travis Co in Oct. 2023 on 11 counts that included sexual abuse of a child. He was found by Panamanian officials in Panama & extradited back to the U.S. He’s being held in Travis Co jail on $100k bond. @fox7austin

@oltorf @JackCraver @zoforaustin Better than Kelly and Pool… let’s get some blood pumping on the dais
English

@JackCraver Very interesting to see Craver steal my analysis of this with no citation. Siegel WILL bring a more confrontational style to council bc he’s very ego driven. This will put folks like @zoforaustin in a VERY difficult spot.
English

This means YIMBYs now hold 10 of 11 seats on Council.
Perhaps more importantly, Siegel is likely to be a much bolder progressive-populist than his predecessor…more likely to push for ambitious policy Casar-style. Will he clash with Watson? We’ll see.
Jack Craver@JackCraver
UPDATE: SIEGEL WINS by 206 votes.

Thanks for the DMs. I will indeed honor this pledge if this result holds.

Alright this is it … I’m off Twitter/X if Gary loses. I’m “all in” to #StopSiegel and save our city!
