Austin police are taking longer to respond to 911 calls, even though they are responding to fewer of them.

whatever happened to those guys who used to post about austin politics on here with the teddy Roosevelt profile picture and the other guy with the al capone profile picture? you don't hear much about them anymore. They got replaced by a new crop of guys, it seems.

Great story. I haven't followed this one super closely, but learned today that the consultant the city hired to look for IT efficiencies compared Austin's IT staffing to other cities...but they won't say which other cities!

Austin council could halt a proposed IT consolidation just weeks before it was supposed to start. Officials say the reorganization could save up to $142 million per year. Read my latest for @statesman here: statesman.com/news/local/art…

The map does not contain exact locations of encampments, but you can search addresses to find nearby sites that may be cleared when the crackdown begins in mid-May. statesman.com/news/local/art…

The city is preparing to launch a large and sustained effort to sweep homeless encampments throughout the city in what is the most significant expansion of that work since Austin voters banned public camping in 2021. This map shows what parts of the city will be targeted.

A random attack in Austin's Central Library last month highlights the challenges the justice system faces in dealing with mentally ill people who repeatedly commit violence. The @statesman explains why. statesman.com/news/courts/ar…

Carmen Mejia is home with her daughters, attorney Vanessa Potkin tells me. The exonerated Austin mother was released from the Travis County jail last night around 11 p.m. after ICE abruptly announced it would lift a detainer on Mejia that could have led to her deportation.

After a judge formally exonerated Carmen Mejia yesterday, she hugged her daughters for the first time in over 20 years. Then, she went back to jail because ICE has indicated agents may deport her. Mejia will know her fate sometime tomorrow afternoon. statesman.com/news/courts/ar…

This person just posts whatever, but for the sake of accuracy, a couple of clarifications: 1. This story describes an alleged assault 2. Diagne was an American citizen when it allegedly happened.
Austin Videos@ATXVideos

Per @statesman: 65 year old woman was assaulted by the man who later went on to commit a mass shooting on West 6th Street.
