NopeEver

She’s voted “no” maybe 120 times of 2,700 times. None of the times she voted no was there a change in the outcome. Simply brought up some topic no one else did. she brought forward 38 resolutions/policies that passed. Mostly related to public safety. This week will be #39. she co-sponsored over 42 policies. That means a sponsor + 4 others had to cosponsor. It takes 6 votes to pass something. she has worked to try and make city council better. And she’s no Zimmerman.

The American dream.

Why are you making fun of her?

Nah. Wouldn’t if I could. just surprised at what she’s done and accomplished

This. She’s been doing a great job and yeah she had a lot of trauma, but she’s been very open and honest. look, she probably had a bunch of shit happen to her there’s no doubt the choices that were made prior to her election were bad but come on. She’s not done anything stupid and I doubt that’s actually “coaching”. She actually seems to thrive in this role and care. Gotta give credit where credit is due. if anyone has ever seen her in public or met with her since she’s sort of inspiring. It’s weird. Honestly. Fucking weird. But she’s likable. And she will laugh about the bullshit and she will say she was wrong and she will talk about how she learned but holy hell she’s somewhat delightful to be around. She’s relatable, doesn’t take herself seriously and actually realizes she doesn’t know everything. a little time and breaking the bullshit is a perfect example. We all did dumb shit when we were younger but I find it hard to believe she is the same as she was. Maybe parts exist but she’s sort of fun to banter with from time to time politically. Y’all like to think I’m her but I’m not. I’ll tell you a story about how she was wrong about something and agonized about it. For days. She knew she was wrong and got really upset. But she has been more public facing, puts herself out there and tries. That’s all we could ask for an elected.

She made herself pretty vulnerable. not saying it was right or wrong but at least she’s trying? https://statesman-tx.newsmemory.com/?publink=1edcb7f45_134d10f also she apparently finally got an external audit of homeless spending : https://www.fox7austin.com/news/austin-homeless-texas-freeze-city-council.amp not a fan but at least she’s doing what she was elected to do

I hate to say this since you all think I’m Kelly, but to be quite Frank she has done more than any other member. She does treat this as the best job she has ever had and that’s what I’d want from an elected. Maybe she went to counseling and figured her life out. Maybe not. But she has proven, time and time again, she is willing to take the hard stances. (Ex the Adler shit about him using city resources to campaign which is against the city charter and bypasses party lines) I will also say, for the district I live in, she has gone out of her way to have meetings and talk. Even if they don’t live in the city. The ETJ, the MUD, she is fully aware that what happens in the city affects them all. say what you will about my profile or her, at least she’s trying. And she is doing a more than okay job. Perhaps it’s wisdom with age or actually giving a fuck but she is a completely different human than she was on surly. And that’s saying something. she is now the “darling” of the party and every year she is away from her past she is going to predicate the future. Look at the monitor article. She’s not a Zimmerman. She’s not a Flannigan. She has found a way to make her way and not be ridiculous. Hate me but it is what it is. And we all have to accept that.

She managed to stay out of the shit storm that brought upon this city and now she’s on the right side of the dumbasses from the yellow rose in her district. What is the world is shit coming to that fitlump is actually an effective council member?!!! It’s almost like she’s grown more powerful and transcendent than we could have ever imagined.
