#atxcountil, #TribFest18: Chutzpah, thy name is Adler....

"The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor,
But through knowledge the righteous will be delivered."
Proverbs 11:9

This morning, on a TribFest panel related to urban issues, Mayor Adler said the legislature needs to "focus on the basics."

He should know.

Consider the following:

• Banning BBQ

• Uber

• Short Term rentals

• "Sick leave" entitlements

• Soccer Stadium

• Convention center expansion.

What do all those things have in common?!?

None of them are related to core functions of city government.

Bottom Line: The city of Austin ought to remove the plank from its own eye before complaining about the specks in the eye of the legislature....
