Just in time for Christmas:
The Legislative Council has sent draft language for a proposed law that would transfer control of the Austin Police Department to the Texas Department of Public Safety.

New study reveals Austin is one of the top 15 safest big cities in the US. Why don’t you something better for the community instead of whining about getting less money.

Who is the police department accountable to?
If not city government, then who is their boss?

Disagreeing with policy is no reason to undo the democratically-elected officials. Stay in your lane.
