In bittersweet news, I’ll be leaving the @RepCasar team at the end of the year to head back to Texas & join the folks at @TexasAFLCIO!
There’s lots to say, but right now I’m focused on helping Team Casar find a stellar new Comms Director.

🦺 Since June, Austin traffic signal engineers have installed over 640 leading pedestrian intervals (LPIs) to improve pedestrian safety.
LPIs give pedestrians a head start to enter the crosswalk before cars get the green light. 🚶♀️🚶 #VisionZero

@bhallcpa All the people who were lucky enough to be at the front of the line and already bought a beer will complain that additional beer vendors will ruin the character of the beach.
English

You are at the beach and want a beer.
Local ordinances allow for only one beer vendor on the beach.
Turns out, a lot of beach goers also want a beer.
The line is long.
The price was $20 a beer but seeing the long line, the beer vendor raises the price to $25 a beer.
People get mad.
They shout “you’re price gouging us!”
But as fate would have it,
You are a local politician.
You can solve this problem.
Do you:
(1) give everyone in line, and anyone else who wants a beer, $15
(2) blame the beer vendor for price gouging and withholding the supply of beer on a hot summer day
(3) change local ordinances to allow more beer vendors on the beach

What happens to the areas that had zero votes cast? Does the proposition fail in a 0-0 tie?

Three of six neighborhoods near the outskirts of Austin will be removed, or “disannexed,” from the city limits following voter approval in Saturday's election. That includes Lost Creek in West Austin, the largest of the three. l8r.it/nLoP

Steve Clifford discussing talent development in the NBA
"You know how many guys there are in our league that can average 15 or 16 (points) and are no good? Their team never wins when they're out there."
"Because they score 15 or 16 they stick around for five years and people say 'Wow, he must screw everything up as everywhere he goes when he's on the floor they loose'.
"It happens all the time, that's why learning at a young age the coverage is the coverage, the set is the set, the after timeout play is the after timeout play. Knowing what a great shot is is everything in this league."
