Prop A aims to take more of our public money to fund more Police Officers instead of Fire, EMS, Public Health, City Libraries and City Pools and Parks.
Hanna is fed up with mere rhetoric. "Myself & many others have been advocating for improvements within the Sex Crimes Unit at APD for years now with little to no real change, I’m done giving credit or believing that change will happen until I see it."

It's Election Day. Here's a roundup of relevant coverage on Prop A, the most important measure on the Austin ballot.
First, a reminder on what Prop A would do and, importantly, how Save Austin Now used deceptive tactics to get it on the ballot. https://t.co/eJ0OWrr8Vi
HOY es el último día para la votación anticipada. Esta elección determinará si la ciudad agregará más dinero al presupuesto de APD a costo de los servicios fundamentales. ¡VOTE NO A LA PROPUESTA A! https://t.co/ekWy9mszj2
QN in article:“Does this department really deserve millions more in funding?”🙄
<dusts off soapbox> 📢 No our community DESERVES millions in funding. We are tired of societies cruel fixation on state violence. So NO investing more in institutional oppression is never DESERVING!

Obligatory I Voted Early pic & NO I DID NOT SUPPORT PROP A. Don’t let fear tactics fool you. A safe city is an equitable city, not one that forces $ from EMS, fire, libraries & parks to further maximize police budgets.

It was super quick and easy just now to vote no on state prop 3 and no on City of Austin prop A, both of which are terrible proposed public policy.
Please go do it right now you guys.
From our editorial board: "No sensible person would run a business this way, following a costly and arbitrary staffing rule. And Austin should not run APD that way." https://t.co/rPHnQxztLg
