So.... what happens is the virus takes out Biden and Sanders. Do we just go to the convention and let existing delegates and super delegates decide who to support out of candidates that re-enter the race?
I know this might not be popular but I think this underscores how important it is to expand the convention center so we can attract more events so the entire fucking city doesn't rely on 1 event like this.
That's fair. It's 40% federal funding. I think it's smart they are going with the 10 cent tax but it would be nice if we could go with something higher to get the damn thing built but it's easier to say that now than it a couple years when you see that on. your tax bill.
Pretty clear SXSW cancellation and virus caused decline in flying is going to hit the ABIA budget. We'll see if the upcoming Paris and Amsterdam flights still launch.
I'm not saying SXSW shouldn't be canceled but I don't think the average austinte understands the damage it would do to the local economy. Lots of businesses are going to be looking for ways to balance the books after falling way short of revenue this quarter.
Meeting is about to start. The entire city council is behind the podium which looks like bad news.
