"Last week, the Austin City Council passed their new budget for the next fiscal year, one that includes raising taxes by 8 percent. That means the council will take roughly $100 more from the median homeowner next year.But here’s the shocking part: Compared to just 11 years ago, the city council is now taking 100 percent more cash from the median homeowner. That’s right. Double." (Source)
This article is dated but I considered it important enough to post anyway. I could not find it previously posted on Free Republic.
Butt, butt, butt they said...... How about we build a power plant that runs on black mold? No doubt it would be safe right.
Cui Bono.
I don’t feel sorry for liberal nose-in-the-air Austinites. For conservatives who have to be there for a job, or long-time residents who have seen their area invaded, I have some sympathy.
Fortunately for Adler, Asstown’s carpetbagger Lefty mayor, the voters are stoned a goodly part of the time and don’t seem to mind being ripped off by scammers of all stripes.
Adler and the Silly Council are too busy turning the Texas capital into a stinking replica of San Fran to care about a mere half billion boondoggle that has netted 60 days of energy in six years.
They’re prop tax goes up and when the expense falls away the tax will be raised again for a new nothing.
That’s the tax racket folks.
Lord hep’us all - If this state turns blue in 2020 get ready to see red statewide on the bottom line. I miss T. Boone Pickens voice of reason already.

Apologies for double posting. This iPhone is a Democrat.
Living in a tent on the sidewalk is suddenly more attractive...
But where do I plug in to get my free wood-fired electricity?
It's Bizzaro World...
I use biomass to help heat my home in the winter. The technology is called “a fireplace.”
I guarantee that I obtain more usable energy from my fireplace than Austin will ever obtain from this billion dollar boondoggle.
LOL it’s not just liberals who love government waste.
Scratch a boondoggle and you’ll find a crime.
Austin deserves anything they get.
It’s a free election and the citizens vote these people into office.
You haven’t even mentioned the money going from Austin tax payers to the homeless...it’s really quite funny...
Now I’m that they’ve bought everyone off, they should have no trouble getting re-elected.
“...those decisions have created a harsh reality for Austinites.”
A reality which they themselves created when they voted, and from which they have learned absolutely nothing.
People get the government they deserve.
They need to build a plant that runs on liberals sense of self-superiority and self-satisfaction, we’d have surplus endless energy forever.
And misguided intentions too. Plenty of excess energy there.
Thats not misguided intentions, they know what they are doing, the surprise when it doesnt work is the act, they expect you to believe their plausible deniability.
