Unearthed footage of newly elected U.S. Senator @jamestalarico leading UT students in a march to the Texas Capitol, fighting for lower tuition and greater state funding.

From organizing students to representing Texans in the U.S. Senate.

Some things never change. 🤘

Latest #WatsonWire: It’s time to start the process to get rail to the airport.

For years, our Austin Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA or AUS) operated beyond the capacity it was originally designed to accommodate. That’s a sign of success, and a reminder that we can’t build Austin’s future relying on infrastructure designed for its past.

We need to envision a successful future and prepare for it.

The “Journey With AUS” expansion project is delivering significant improvements in building the kind of airport a growing, globally connected city like Austin needs for decades to come.

As we build a better airport, we also need to think about how we’re going to get people there to catch their flights and how to get them out of there to participate in our city.

A world-class airport needs a multimodal, world-class transportation system to connect to it. Sure, we need to improve roadway access. And we also should give people more choices about how they travel.

We need to have the same long-term vision for Austin light rail that we’ve had for ABIA.

An airport rail connection has been part of Austin’s long-term transportation vision for years. With Journey with AUS, we have a chance to plan these projects strategically rather than trying to connect them after the fact.

Until now, Austin Transit Partnership (ATP) has appropriately prioritized navigating the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) process for phase 1 of our system. This year, ATP received the important Record of Decision (ROD) from FTA and completed, in record time, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process for phase 1.

In addition to getting the ROD and completing the NEPA process, I’ve wanted all major design and construction contracts in place and assurance that all of our financial decision-making is guided by a financial stewardship protocol before ATP takes any other big next steps.

We have the ROD, the NEPA process is complete, the major contracts are in place, and the financial stewardship protocol is being followed.

With these important milestones met, we can now take a major step: ATP will start the planning activities for a potential extension to take Austin light rail all the way to the airport.

@superchristo1 @GinaHinojosaTX Glad you figured that out!

[Greg Anderson @WalkableAustin]

Governor @GinaHinojosaTX first ran for office to serve Austin’s kids as an AISD trustee. Now she heads to the Capitol as AISD sends $777.2 MILLION a year to the state through recapture—$8 BILLION since 2000—while struggling to pay teachers and meet students’ needs.

From the AISD boardroom to the Texas Capitol—here’s to finally giving our public schools the future they deserve!

@Bourbon_Cigars_ @GinaHinojosaTX land doesn’t vote, ppl do

[Mayor Pro Tem Chito Vela, III @chitoforatx]

With Sen. Eckhardt’s election as Comptroller, friends, neighbors & community leaders have encouraged me to run for her seat.

I’m seriously considering the opportunity to continue advocating for our community in the Tx Senate. Look forward to hearing from folks as I consider it!

[Greg Anderson @WalkableAustin]

@Rotarran13 @DanPatrick @VikkiGoodwinTX Yes, because prohibition has famously eliminated drug use. 🙄

[Greg Anderson @WalkableAustin]

Who’s writing the bill to legalize, regulate, and tax cannabis in Texas?!

Adults deserve the freedom to unwind, and those seeking pain relief deserve more options.

@DanPatrick said we’d have to vote him out to legalize it. Well, we did! Go @VikkiGoodwinTX! 🌿

[Spencer Schumacher @BikeLaneSpencer]

What comes next for Project Connect?

✅ The Democratic House will kill the Troxclair bill

✅ Senator Talarico will deliver federal funding

✅ Attorney General Johnson will end the bond validation lawsuit

✅ Comptroller Eckhardt will sign off on the bonds

God bless Texas 🤘

Can we finally stop treating our cities like shit and recognize that they’re the economic engines driving our state?

[Greg Anderson @WalkableAustin]

thankfully, @TxDOT has never let a little thing like environmental stewardship get in the way of business as usual
