Local fed up with politicians ruining our city. Independent thinker and common sense practitioner. Opinions are my own. NOT part of SAVE AUSTIN NOW PAC

Here is a good example of how The City of Austin makes this city unaffordable. The city and @CapMetroATX blew $250 million in tax dollars on electric busses that don’t run and there will be ZERO consequences for blowing our tax dollars. Watch this video

Travis County Property Tax bills are out. My taxes increased by $1800 this year cause we have Progressive Marxist city leaders who have no clue what they are doing and think/ brag about every property owner in Austin is wealthy. This is not sustainable 🤬.

Austin City Council votes 10-1 in support of the new police contract. District 1 council member Zo the lone No vote even though his downtown district has the worst crime rate in Austin. Big victory for public safety tonight & bad night for cop hating activists so that’s a win win.

Dustin Burrows now TX Speaker of the House thanks to some GOP traitors and Dems. It’s the same as last session with Drunk Dade Phelan as the speaker and Dems will now have more power. TXGOP is really weak and quite a few need to be primaried. 🤦🏼.

Travis County Property Taxes are out. The new proposed increased my taxes by 21%. This is not sustainable. The Mayor and City Council talks about affordability yet raises taxes to the maximum allowed every year. Yet nobody talks about it, calls them out or pushes back 🤦🏼.

Austin area Reps @RepCasar & @RepLloydDoggett just voted NO on a bill that will deport illegals who committed rape and sexual assault against women. This must be the “Austin Values” the mayor @KirkPWatson and Austin city council keeps talking about. Scumbags all of them 🤬.
145 House Dems vote against bill to deport migrants who commit sexual assault

Just as I suspected… the Travis County Property Appraisal just increased land values by 10% due to the HOME land code passing. The market is down 15% so they increased land values. The city and everyone involved are crooks and liars 🤬.

This happens everyday on Austin Streets where illegals hit other vehicles and have no documentation or insurance and are free to walk away. Law abiding citizens have to cover the damages and is why we pay high car insurance rates 🤬.
@BoulwareH2 I am a squish on immigration, but some shit goes too far. I was rear ended hard by an illegal on the east side of Austin causing a chain of collisions. No insurance or DL. We asked for info & he played dumb. Cop showed up & spoke to him in Spanish, not knowing I understood the.

Atx drops from these best place to live 3 years in a row in 2019 to now #40 in 4 years. Who would have saw that electing progressives who defund the police, spending $100’s of millions on homeless and raising taxes would have a negative effect 🤦🏼

My take on these protests: I believe these misguided young people really don’t know exactly what they are protesting and they just want to be apart of something and think protesting & causing a ruckus is cool. Screaming and throwing fits in public is not going to achieve anything.

Watching the devastating fires in L.A. with 0% containment after 2 days one has to wonder how Austin would fare in this situation. Knowing Austin city leaders I have serious doubts. Fire experts have long warned that Austin is a ticking time bomb.

This account is doing an excellent job of shedding light on the failures of Austin Soros DA Jose Garza purposely not prosecuting and locking up criminals who continue to wreak havoc on our community. Give them a follow and help highlight Austin’s public enemy #1 DA Jose Garza.
Austin PD recently arrested Kamerone Stewart for aggravated assault with a weapon. Of his 8 prior arrests:.• 3 dismissals.• 2 probations.• 3 breezy plea deals.• 0 trials. Twice his felonies — including sexual assault — were reduced to misdemeanors.

Austin CM Mackenzie Kelly has to tell CM Fuentes that the city’s attempts to try to supercede TX law is childish and there are correct avenues to approach this. CM Kelly continues to be the only adult on city council that recognizes this is just virtue signaling and has not teeth

This is the plan by “Urbanists” in Austin to turn Austin into unaffordable crime ridden shitholes like SF, NYC and Chicago. You cannot loathe these people enough 🤦🏼.
Austin has real potential to be a future S-tier city with the likes of SF, NYC, Chicago, but the next 5 years will be crucial -- can we pass more housing density, can we free ourselves from suburban corridor style development, can we build the spine of a transit system?

Austin has an addiction to “non-profits” who continue to bleed out taxpayers. Council Member Kelly is the only responsible and sane city leader in Austin.

So this person loses her Austin city council race but is given a job as ED for Transit Forward when she has zero experience in transportation. This is another example of Austin cronyism ala Jimmy Flannigan and shows you what a joke of an organization @transit_forward really is.
I’m honored to step in the role of ED with @transit_forward! Together, let’s move our city forward—one step, one ride, one policy at a time. 🚉.

Only in Austin TX under Soros DA Garza can you coordinate with your spouse and hire a hitman that killed your father in law and get only 120 days in jail. DA Garza is the number one threat to public safety in Austin and needs to be removed from office

Never forget that TX Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett Co Sponsored a Bill to try to take away Trumps Secret Service detail. She is one of the worst people in Congress and continues to be an embarrassment to Texas.
My thoughts are with Mr. Trump as he recovers. My deepest appreciation is extended to law enforcement for their selfless & decisive action . Poltical violence in all forms must be condemned.

Austin DA Garza filed lawsuit to keep the info surrounding his publicly funded security detail private is all you need to know that this is corruption. Garza’s wife is Travis County Judge Andy Browns chief of staff. I sincerely hope @KenPaxtonTX looks into this.

We now have not 1 2 or 3 Assistant City Mangers in Austin but 4 Assistant City Managers making $300,000 per year. Never wonder why Austin is unaffordable 🤦🏼.

In typical Austin fashion the newly built parking garages at the airport will now be demolished and rebuilt into a new building on the airport expansion. What a colossal waste of money. With all the self proclaimed “smart people” in Austin we have the most ignorant leaders 🤦🏼.
An $865 million expansion of ABIA's Barbara Jordan Terminal is headed to city council for approval later this month. The 370,500 square foot building would be the new "front door" of the airport. And rideshare pickup might move back to the curb.

This is gold. Finally a reporter in Austin who has the guts to call out a city council person. Natasha takes advantage of her role and then likes to play the victim when anyone dare call her out on her BS. She is a horrible person as known by many who have had dealings with her.
When city council met to work through a massive agenda yesterday, @NatashaD1atx was not in attendance. Her chief of staff told me: “it happens.”. So I looked through every council meeting since Jan 2023 to record attendance. Turns out “it happens” a lot more for Harper-Madison.
