Opener
In his conversation with @NewsRadioKLBJ’s Todd & Don, @RepDennisBonnen had some strong words for Austin government about their foolish decision to defund @Austin_Police, rejecting political games that put public safety at risk.
Hypocrisy
In my chat w/@NewsRadioKLBJ’s Todd & Don, I cited multiple instances of @MayorAdler predicting potential harm to law enforcement as a reason to reject #txlege efforts to empower taxpayers, contrasted with the mayor’s recent $150M flip-flop.
Taxpayers
While a legislative remedy must wait until 2021, I’m calling on Austin taxpayers to push back on the proposed cuts to @austin_police funding to keep their community safe.
Closer
In my final comments to @newsradioklbj’s Todd & Don, I took issue with folks disrespecting police officers — @austin_police shouldn’t be punished for the actions of a rogue officer in Minneapolis.
