I really wish this guy would run against her: https://www.mystatesman.com/news/opinion/commentary-mls-austin-could-open-the-door-civic-opportunities/pP7xt1OH2akaH7LOhPLhpN/

Wednesday is not going to be a problem. Pool really sucks. Adler having to describe what a poison pill is to her right now. I think Jimmy should have an open mic to respond to everything that Pool and Alter say about everything. Would make all Council sessions must-see TV.
-
Supporters group showed up strong and called out Pool. Feeling very, very good right now.
-
67 in favor and 35 against among city hall registrants right now.
-
Some of us have gathered enough dirt to both win this thing tomorrow and make things very difficult on other soccer operations outside the city limits through this process. Some groups may have overplayed their hand and alienated the entire soccer community.
-
Agreed. These four are out. Garza/Kitchen/Casar are varying levels of “maybe.” Going to be tighter than it should be. Flannigan spitting fire at Pool/Alter and these other proposals during work session right now.

Ok, gang. This is the week. Because it’s Austin, we can fuck up any deal, no matter how good it is. If you want MLS in Austin to happen, there’s two things you can do. Email Council with your support. Be sure to list your district, so they know it’s coming from a constituent. Be specific about supporting soccer at McKalla Place. You can email them all here: http://www.austintexas.gov/email/all-council-members Show up this Thursday, August 9 at City Hall. Item 19 will probably be in the evening. Folks can stop by anytime during the day to sign up in support/speak in support of Item 19.

This was great right up until the first line when you ignored the fact that Domain is in the population center the the MSA and COTA is in the middle of fucking nowehere.

How an Ex-Cop Rigged McDonald’s Monopoly Game and Stole Millions
skittlebrau replied to Hugo Stiglitz's topic in Daily Texan
All of those hole-in-one things are insured. The charity/company putting on the event pay the insurance company a super low price, and the insurance companies pays out if someone hits it. Cost is low because they almost never pay out. The policy has requirements about minimum distances/witnesses/etc and has to list the specific hole. The charity must have put the sign on the wrong hole, which means they didn’t have an insurance policy to back it up and were liable out of pocket. -
Impressive how far we’ve come. Today’s bench would clobber some of the lineups from the days of Woy.
-
Making this about party politics is a huge mistake. This is a central Austin vs, everybody else thing, regardless of your political leaning. That’s where the current land development code and the last 80 years of politics have concentrated power. Beware of candidates getting a huge amount of $$$ from the core.

Too damn far to drive out there for anything other than a race. Elroy FC would be a better name.
-
I’d say it’s a combination of several things: - Wanting to keep out the poors, who are largely brown and black based upon simple demographics - Implicit bias toward single family, which exacerbates the segregationist history of Austin’s land development code - Central Austin liberal elite who want equality as long as it doesn’t affect them and they get to call the shots - Fuck you, pay me

Apparently he’s never been to an event at COTA if he thinks the workforce and infrastructure is a plus.

“We will find a way to keep out the brown people.”

Austin City Government - Circus of the Insane
skittlebrau replied to skittlebrau's topic in Daily Texan
Agree on the leadership vacuum, wholeheartedly. I know some in the business community pulled support from Adler after he rolled over on sick leave, but are grudgingly back in the game because of his opponent. The only good thing I can say about this is that the money we spent on Code NEXT was a sunk cost. We were moving very quickly toward a land development outcome that would have cost the city far more. I hold some outside hope that we can rethink the process and come up with something better. It’s also quite possible that we can come up with something better in D1 after November. -
Lobo appears quite uninformed. Or is an Epstein mark.

Mixed use proposal for COTA http://www.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=302658
-
Technically MLS @ F1 is their first option. Which is the stupidest option. And, would keep the team from moving here. Also no idea why PSV would want to work with the group trying to cockblock them.
-
Also another stupid set of questions from Leslie Pool posted to the Council message board.
-
Exactly. This whole thing is the bush league shit show we expected it to be. Looks like they found the key to the Aztex Twitter account.
-
Adler v Morrison, CodeNEXT and soccer would be one hell of a trifecta election for the forces of good vs evil in November.
-
Those guys suck and I hope they fail. I’m still dubious that they ever get off the ground.
-
This much is true. But, they have a super short time frame. If my math is right, they need to get 20K signatures on a petition and get it certified by the city (which takes 10 days or so) by Aug 20 to make the November ballot.

Only took ten months from my original post on The Shag to today.
