More Democrat madness on display - Over the Big Top.

Such a clown show that it would be funny, if it were not so deadly serious.

[a fool in paradise]

Austin Police should write citations to make up the shortfall.

Keep Austin Solvent

[11th_VA]

I would not help ... yet. Let them reap what they sowed for awhile ...

[Deaf Smith]

"to freeze property tax revenue"

Hey Gov Abott, tell Austin they have to eleminate their State Sales Tax that was "earmarked" for police & emergency services.

[Rebelbase]

Didn’t Tesla move their HQ to Austin recently?

[Salvavida]

If Gov Abbot helps, it would take the pressure off of Austin, thus, will have the same effect as Temporary Protected Status (TPS) did for Central Americans fleeing to the US after Hurricane Mitch: we now have 1/5 of every country from Central America and they never went home— all because the political pressure to REFORM their own countries was eliminated.

Let Austin live without a full police force. Let Texans find their 6-shooters.

[Jan_Sobieski]

Soon, this city will be like Portland and Seattle. Somehow I think this is the plan...

[DoughtyOne]

The police should just walk out en mass.

Let Austin’s Leftist thinkers figure it out.

[CondoleezzaProtege]

So disturbing. And I have family there...plan to be there Labor Day weekend in fact. This is really not cool. 😠

[Artcore]

Abbott is a useless pu$$ie!

[GOPJ]

The city council plans to cut the Austin Police Department budget by one-third and redirect some of the funds to abortion and food programs.

Totally insane.

[L.A.Justice]

I think City of Austin may need some Texas Rangers very soon...

[vpintheak]

How stupid are people? Leftist idiots cut the police force in their city. Then the rest of the state is on the hook to pay for their policing? Screw that. These idiots want to embrace the suck, let them embrace it! Reap the whirlwind, suckers!

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

The stare should bill Austin for the extra policing.

[Deplorable American1776]

My answer will be 3 words: “Oh, Hell No!!”

[Feckless]

F 'em. Like many Texans, I am embarrassed and sickened by Austin, the San Francisco of Texas, and the morons who live there and run it.

Let them suffer from the Gubbmint they created, maybe it will mobilize the other half of the population there to do something other than tolerate their BS.

I don't want my state taxes propping up some Third World Crap Hole like my Feral taxes do.

Hanoi in the Hill Country has been circling the bowl for several years, might as well flush it and start over.

[zeugma]

Abbott is too concerned about forcing everyone in Texas to wear a face-diaper to focus on much of anything else.
