Furthermore, I was not disparaging the way she makes a buck. She could be a tower crane operator for all I care. And, I don't know how you would infer that from my question.

My bad, wasn't coming at you bro. You have a legit question. I can come across as a dick on occasion. Apologies.

MLS/ATX are giving away merch at City Hall.....not too shabby.

Is someone going down tonight? I have a FOZ meeting (Friends of Zilker) at 6:30, but I can break out and be there in less than 10 min. (I signed up to speak, and I plan to bring my 4 year old son) Once I know the item is up next, I can break out. If someone from this group plans to be there, please update this site when the item is a couple away, and I'll come down. Much appreciated.

yes, it's easy. Is there a way to sign up in favor of online? I know if you want to speak you have to sign up in person....but it would be great to be able to sign up to support online and not have to drive down.

You can always email support in at any time before the vote. That’s effectively the same as what you’re asking.

Early signups are 67 in favor, 35 against and 6 neutral.

Do they need 7 votes to approve on 3 readings or just a simple majority?

Can you imagine being so bitter and spiteful that you go speak in front of city council just to stop a bunch of people from having fun? NIMBYs are miserable people. Leslie Pool is the worst.

Hoping for the best tonight/tomorrow! I'll be watching.

Heard that Pool has moved from her usual spot, possibly to avoid fireworks from Flannignan who should call her and Alter out hard on this issue and their process.

freerover · #**1668** Posted **Aug 9, 2018, 11:33 PM**

Just got here. Garza has already said she isn’t there yet but could sucomb to public pressure.

freerover · #**1669** Posted **Aug 9, 2018, 11:45 PM**

Oh man. I'm sitting behind the old angry people and they're already fuming.

Registration now 177 to 45 on the side of goodness and light. How can Council ignore the continued, overwhelming public support??

Oh wait. Because, Austin.

Plus last I checked, Spataro and Luca has both registered twice, so knock it down to 43

Alter has a super infuriating disposition. This whole gender card is a bullshit attempt to kill it. Does voting against McKalla Place help female soccer players at all?

Hahaha Adler cracking jokes at Pool's expense. Then he asked if she has more amendments and she said "Oh god yes" and then said that she has 6.

freerover · #**1676** Posted **Aug 10, 2018, 3:02 AM**

Alter and Houston just voted against continuing discussion on the item. Extremely disrespectful to everyone who has spent hours here for the discussion.

Pool did too.
