#TXLEGE, #atxcouncil: Abbott makes EMPTY THREAT re: New Homelessness Ordinance

"A fool vents all his feelings,
But a wise man holds them back."
Proverbs 29:11

We've yet to discuss the city's new homelessness ordinance, but SOMEONE decided he wanted to mouth off about it on Twitter:

If Austin— or any other Texas city—permits camping on city streets it will be yet another local ordinance the State of Texas will override.

At some point cities must start putting public safety & common sense first.

There are far better solutions for the homeless & citizens. https://t.co/xYezoovVCg

Is this a joke?!?

We just went through a legislative session.  The state just failed to override the city's (much more dangerous) "sick leave" entitlement.  Yet we're supposed to believe the state is suddenly going to grow a pair.

LOL.

We explained on Twitter:

#TXLEGE: Considering your failure on these so-called "sick leave" ordinances, you might not want to talk shit on this topic @GregAbbott_TX.... https://t.co/1STR7jgs7S

Steve Adler and Greg Casar are laughing at Greg Abbott right now.

Bottom Line: Only a fool would trust the Texas Legislature to override the homelessness ordinance any more than they overrode the (far more dangerous) "sick leave" entitlement....
