I say good for the police. I hope more cities do this where they decided to defund.

That's great. I would have included "For emergency service, please call the mayor of Austin? and then include his cell phone number.

I pay $7.50 to circumvent Austin as I travel through Central Texas.
Money well spent ... Safety First.

You could not pay me enough money to enter .Austin City Limits.

Fear mongering which is something they probably learned from Trump and the Republicans.

In Austin, of the $150 million cut, $21 million will be invested in emergency medical services, domestic violence shelters and programs for the homeless.

About another $80 million will go into a 'Decouple Fund' that will transfer many civilian services, like forensic sciences and victim services, outside of the police department.

Used to be a nice happening city back in the day, but many of the longtime residents have moved away.
