I personally have no idea what you're referring to, but I did see this online.

I have to admit I'm severely disappointed in Austin. They let an obvious con/attention whore get a council seat. This was the most obvious slamdunk loss ever, but you elected her. No outing of her attention horse past. You guys get what you deserve with this one. Somebody has to nut up and expose her.

Kelly is slime but small potatoes vs the shit that is and has been running the city but has yet to be "exposed".  Pulling back the curtain on anyone in this city should start with the wet rag but it never will.

Not sure what planet you're on.

Why do you hate Robert Barnstone?

An update on Jimmy Flannigan, the city council member that lost to Kelly...

https://theaustinbulldog.org/flannigan-loses-election-lands-plum-job/

The day after he lost, he was offered a job as president of Austin Convention Enterprises.  This is a non-profit that runs the city of Austin owned downtown Hilton hotel.

The president is the only employee of the non-profit.  Flannigan does not actual run the hotel -- the non-profit hires Hilton to do that, he just maintains the non-profit.  This involves working on the website, preparing for once monthly board meetings, working with vendors associated with the non-profit.

The job is limited to 20 hours per week and his compensation was set at $140,000 per year, plus $6000 for health insurance.

As a council member, Flannigan voted to appoint the three directors that then hired him and to create the position that he now holds. Two of the directors donated to his reelection campaign.

It got renamed Lady Bird Lake a while back. The only thing more annoying than people calling it Lady Bird Lake is when people complain about other people calling it Lady Bird Lake.

That’s not as annoying as people complaining about people complaining about calling it Lady Bird Lake.

What about the intersection of 1st & 1st?  

On another note, that doesn't surprise me about Jimmy Flannigan.  What was surprising is how quickly after his narrow defeat he took that position, almost as if he had been planning to lose the whole time.

Sounds like a much better gig than working with the other idiots on City Council.

He was as crooked as the rest of 'em, but he was a lot smarter and a fuckton less condescending.  Ellis, Flannigan, and Renteria are nice in real life.  I don't know anything about Madison, Kelly, or Fuentes.  Tovo and Alter are a mixed bag, but are very smart. Casar, Kitchen, Pool, and Adler are all especially troubling.  They're all up-and-down in public and private complete, utter, and overwhelming assholes of the highest order.  None of them is particularly smart.  In fact Casar and Pool suffer from extreme versions of Dunning-Krueger.  And all are beyond corrupt and morally bankrupt beyond the pale.  In most other countries on this planet, they would have been rounded up and imprisoned. 

And all of them suffer from condescending bitch resting face.  And what's the cure for that?  You guessed it!  Buying hotels!

I gotta say her first 4 months in office have been a grand disappointment. Just being a good time deaf incompetent attention whore doesn't move the insanity needle the way she's fully capable of doing.

Agreed.

Sounds like she's got staffers who are reining her crazier shit in.  She's got some kind of marching orders to stick to certain topics, and don't stray from the script.

The thing I hate, is I know people in her district that like her, and they have no idea about her background.

Yeah something has got to give... My guess is when it does give it will be glorious and we will finally get the shenanigans we so richly deserve. Until then just more WTFs.

Previous post meant to say tone deaf not time deaf.

it's quite beautiful and emphasizes that every sentient structure has a few camwhore, kid-neglecting, fake job history, and back alley hemispherectomy blemishes in their histories which strengthens the rich tapestry of this simulacrum.

Jimmy and I went to elementary school together, so I'm not going to say a bad thing about him.

The odd/even thing was really meant to balance out in case a strong mayor platform emerges.  For a city growing as fast as ours in certain places, not a bad idea to evaluate every 10 years how many districts and how they're drawn.  Plus helps spread the number of constituents to more manageable numbers.  But yeah, a major U.S. city, you never want to get above 15 total voting members, IMO.  Unless you get to a mega-city like New York or Chicago (50+ there).  I feel like our neighborhood just south of the River near downtown doesn't have much in common with the rest of our district that is more "suburban" in feel/look/distance/demography

Flannigan is a grifter of the highest order and not a bright bulb in general.  Alter actually was one of 2 that voted against removing the camping ban but she is a wolf in sheep's clothing IMO.  If I had to bet, she'll agree with telling the police not to enforce vagrancy and loitering statutes and she's all in on buying hotels with our money.
