Half as much as when a president stumps for another candidate
How about when the prez decides to fly to New York to see a Broadway show or out to California for some movie star’s dinner party or to Martha’s Vineyard to play golf?
As a life long Austin area resident, I can state with some accuracy that Austin and TRAVIS COUNTY Government, almost ALL radical liberals from the top down, spill that much money by the hour every day 365 days a year and 366 days in a leap year.
So, this comment by LIBERALS at KXAN is belly busting laughable.
A one liner, AND JUST ONE EXAMPLE of the “spillage”, is that with 407,000 fewer people than Dallas, AUSTIN GOVERNMENT (excluding Travis County Government) has 13,889 employees to Dallas’s 13,077 even though Dallas has the aforestated 407,000 more people to take care of. (source: Texas Tribune)
So, whiny, snarky little liberal KXAN reporters should commence whining, indeed screaming and yelling, about what a boat load of dollars an extra 5,000 government employees cost the City of Austin taxpayer rather than a few bucks ONE NIGHT to protect Trump ONE NIGHT and ONE TIME from Austin crazies.
Heh
