December 2nd City Council Meeting

This week at council: You’ll come for the death of Flock Cameras, but you’ll stay for the deliciously petty Price Center mural discussion! Exciting meeting this week.

First, though: VOTE FOR SAUL in the council run-off. Details below.

….

Onto the meeting!

Hours 0:00 – 1:17: Everything but Flock Cameras! Some zoning, and some TIRZ stuff. But mostly, please let me tell you a very funny story about the Price Center mural.

Hours 1:17 – 3:50: FLOCK CAMERAS go down in flames! Plus a new speed limit on FM 110, and some suburban sprawl.

Bonus! 3 pm workshops:  Should we be sister cities with Inverness, Scotland? What about Monclova, Mexico?

And that’s a wrap.

…..

It’s Council run-off time! Please do go vote!

My Opinion

Saul Gonzales: I’m endorsing Saul. He’s willing to state his positions. He promised to vote no on the data center, to remove Cape’s Dam, to remove Flock cameras. Has shown his cards about how he’s going to vote.

And he’s kept his word! This past Tuesday, he voted against renewing the Flock Cameras contract.

Josh Paselk: No. First off, he never sent answers in. He won’t say how he’ll vote on anything.

Literally all we know is that he’s backed by a very sleazy PAC representing wealthy donors. They have outspent other candidates by a factor of 10. [Update: The first link may not work. It goes to a FB post about this mailer. Here’s a different link about the sleaziness.]

All they seem to care about is that wealthy donors should be able to hoard their wealth:

LISTEN YOU NUMBSKULLS. It is better for business when poor people have a little extra money to spend! A rising tide lifts all boats. You can pay your fair share and grow your wealth!

And then they’ve gotten deeply gross with the mailers this past week.

I can’t stand this mentality. Vote for Saul.
