You people really do make this site worth reading. And it's why if you haven't, you should register an account at Burnt Orange Report here. From this thread on the Austin Mayoral race...

Brewster McCracken Has a Clear Vision for Austin's Future! (0.00 / 0)

I have decided to support Brewster McCracken because he has economic policies which balance growth, innovation, while preserving job growth in these difficult economic times. Now is not the time to "hunker down" and take Austin's innovative culture for granted and cut city services while saying "no" to future development. That is saying "no" to much needed job creation. Austin already has made that mistake with "Ms. No" Laura Morrison. Her neighborhood preservation platform is like a rubber stamp of no good ideas, and "Mr. No" Lee Leffingwell will not maintain job growth in our economy while advocating unique and New Urbanist developments which will propel Austin into the 21st Century. On 2009, the mayoral choice for Austin voters should not be "No, No, No", it should be "Yes, We Can!"

"Hunker" this (0.00 / 0)

I was here for the 1980's downturn. Parks, libraries, and road maintenance took major hits in funding. Law enforcement funding was capped and drive by shootings became common place events. Cocaine flooded our streets and criminal gangs came out into the open. Human service budgets were cut.

Core city services must be continued to be funded during this economic downturn or we will pay a huge price in the future. I think that is Leffingwell's bottom line message in this campaign.
