Why Austin Government needs to be returned to its citizens

How CRAZY mad can one get? I have lived in Austin Texas for 27 years and love the City. I love the hike and bike trails, the nature, the lakes, the wacky people, the great restaurants...so many things to love. I do NOT love the City of Austin government. Every day, they come up with more and more ridiculous laws and codes to protect us from what? Ourselves?


I have heard Austin called Moscow on the Colorado because of its socialistic ways; protect the trees, protect the golden cheek warbler (what the hell is a warbler) Protect the blind salamander. I am good with most of that. BUT, No smoking in BARS! Isn't it BARS where we go to smoke? The do gooders at the City, whom never would set foot in a bar for fear of being caught on film(Except for Mayor Boozer, whom I saw do an almost faceplant at the Rolling Stones) decided second hand smoke was a danger to the smokers and bar people. HUH? Or the Former Mayor does the face plant on his bike and he wants ALL of us to wear helmets because he is an idiot? OR how about Princess Jennifer who wanted to take her pooch to a restaurant in South Austin, so she changes an ordinance? Never fear we have a whole new herd of idiots that are sure to give me fodder....Brewster? Seriously, you want to be Mayor? Stop trying so hard.


On this blog I will have my daily rant of what is screwed up today with the City. It is more pyscho therapy than anything else. Feel free to chime in.
