Texas Scorecard By Jacob Asmussen January 27, 2021

Is Austin’s Democrat mayor finally realizing leftist decisions are harming the city?

AUSTIN — Violent crime is spreading on the streets. Families are being taxed out of their homes. Iconic small businesses are closing. Homeless camps and filth are permeating the city. Is the unfolding disaster finally prompting city officials to stop what they’re doing to Texas’ capital city?

Last week, Mayor Steve Adler said what he and the all-Democrat Austin City Council have done as their local homeless plan “isn’t working.”

“Going back to where we were we know doesn’t work – and what we’re doing now we also know doesn’t work,” he said in an interview.

But, let’s back up for a moment. Several different storylines lead to the crisis Austinites are facing.

First, the suffocating taxes.

Since 2008, the city council has raised the median homeowner’s yearly city tax bill by well over 100 percent. With a recent monstrous voter-approved tax increase, the council will now be taking roughly $1,000 more from citizens annually.

Other than plans of fraud and corruption are there any DEM plans that are working?
Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

No @#$%, Sherlock! What's the new stupidity?
I am not and never have been a leftist.

If The Vaccine is deadly as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, millions now living would have died.

Ok.  You said it much better than I did.

Thanks for the :beer: . Could you make it a DP?

Some details in Prayer Thread but right now I'm having to work up my stamina just to do ordinary things.
