at least they're going to divert money for more abortion access. They sure love those dead babies.

"That money will be redirected instead to a wide variety of community programs and city departments, including Austin-Travis County EMS for COVID-19 response, mental health response, violence prevention and a family violence shelter and protection and victim services."
Why is that a problem? maybe because the people that would benefit from your bs list, ARE NOT THE PEOPLE THAT STICK A GUN IN YOUR RIBS? next time you need a cop, call dominoes, you stand a better chance of getting something for your call.

Can’t read the article, but get the jest of it. I say good for them, if that is what the population wants. Now, I hope they own the decision and don’t start whining when everything goes sideways. its what a small minority of the population wants. the Squeaky wheel gets the grease

Must remember to program my GPS to go AROUND Austin next tie I want to visit Corpus Christi ... We always take 130 but last weekend my planner said traffic in Austin was not a problem. It was right! We slowed down a little bit for about 2 miles but traffic never stopped and it was on a Friday, middle of the day.

Why is that a problem? Those programs aren't a problem, they definitely need to be funded as well. The problem is that moving money into them that was intended for law enforcement does nothing to lower the number of burglaries, assaults, rapes and murders where those law enforcement responders are needed...no one from any of those programs would be able to do anything about investigating and hopefully arresting someone who committed a crime.

cutting three upcoming cadet classes, slashing overtime costs by nearly $3 million, pulling more than $3 million from commodities and contractuals, $1 million from records management and More than $220,000 combined from license plate readers and vacancies to the department’s mounted patrol. Yeah, this is BS

Seems as though your we the tax paying citizen might need to have an attorney on speed dial the way things are going or might go, when you have to defend you property or family. Why would you need a lawyer if there no one to come arrest you? You can bet someone will show up. Just tell the social worker to go away.

The Cali Libs have ruined a wonderful city They are flooding the state. Bunch of Cali plates every where. I've been looking for a new house and my realtor said almost 1/2 her clients or potential clients are from out of state right now.

I'd say cops don't actually lower the number of burglaries, assaults, rapes, and murders. They respond to them, and mental health/social programs/family violence programs are more likely to lower actual crimes by addressing root causes.

My son sold his house over by White Rock to a couple from California. He was a veterinarian and she was a therapist of some kind. Cash deal, move in as soon as possible, house sold in 3 days for asking price. It’s happening quickly.

Why is that a problem? The "problem" is that the City Council is sending a message that they don't support the PD, that the woke minority is in control, that they did not think those programs you mentioned were worthy of additional or new funding until it was politically what they think they should do to get their face in front of a camera to talk about how woke they are. I guess redirecting funding from the Cultural Arts Program, Austin Music Disaster Relief Fund, Austin Creative Space Disaster Relief Program, Film & Digital Media Production Incentive Program, just to name a few wasn't woke enough. Are you still on board?
GOD is good!
