  1. I think Graham is a troll. That cannot actually be serious.
  2. LCRA just notified of Wirtz and Starcke releases tonight.
  3. He see's that Billy Luicci gravy train and he wants a taste! The formula is simple: cover up any negativity, trash the Longhorns, tell them exactly what they want to hear. Profit!
  4. If you have a car that gets 30 mpg, you'd be burning 3.8 gallons a fuel every day to get to/from work. At $3/gallon, that is $11.40/day or $57/week. Multiply that by 50 weeks and it comes to $2,850 per year. And that doesn't account for tires/oil/wear and tear on your vehicle. I get that you are on 54 acres and individual lifestyle matters the most, but you seemed to be implying that it was financially driven by property taxes. *
  5. Yeah, I think they suck as much as the next guy, but getting budget increases that don't even match inflation is probably the last thing to be bitching about.
  6. In three weeks, after playing patsies, CW will be back to Heisman front runner and they will be talking about seeding in the playoffs.
  7. The reason Wigs was vomiting on the sideline was because he looked up and saw his stat line on the big screen.
  8. I wonder what the letter from the random ND fan will sound like this week?
  9. How has ND not figured out yet that the punter kicks it further than their coverage guy every single time?
  10. So their savior qb is 9/21 0 TDs and 2 Ints?
  11. But they bring in $1.8B. Then the city takes an extra $150M off the top and puts it into the General Fund. http://budget.austintexas.gov/#!/year/2025/revenue/0/fund_nm
  12. That's just it; everyone in Austin bitches incessantly about how much everything sucks but they continue to re-elect the same people over and over and over.
  13. Are there details on that Austin Energy number? Electric Utilities typically have a big line item in the budget to purchase power but it comes out in the wash when they actually sell it. You'd need to see the revenue chart to know for sure. If it costs $1.7B a year to run a revenue generating electric utility, then everyone involved needs to be fired immediately.
  14. What happened at the Cock was supposed to stay at the Cock.
  15. If you take a shot at the king, you better not miss.
  16. The way that ass has grown in the last 5 years they would look more like a tent.
  17. You also have to factor population density and topography Lower density equals more pipes in the ground equals more maintenance. More terrain elevation means more pumping. More rocky terrain equals higher cost to install. Another interesting thing to look at would be the amount each utility is required to transfer to their respective City General Fund. I think Austin Water is required by Council to transfer like $60M a year to the General Fund. AE is sending like $150M/year to the General Fund. And lastly, just good 'ol fashion government stupidity and graft.
  18. A few months ago we moved from Austin to a nearby suburb. It makes reading this thread far more entertaining and far less maddening.
  19. Your favorite council member was rushed to the hospital during a budget meeting today. I’m sure everyone will send their condolences.
  20. Ok, OK. As long as YOU study it and think it is overblown, we should be good to go. I'm sure we don't have anyone working on this issue in the Pentagon or CIA. That is a good opinion piece and thanks for posting it, but that one section made me laugh a little bit.
  21. Second floodgate opening on Starcke now.
