@Costco Bought a Ker-pops sensory mat for my brother who has autism and after a month the bubbles in the central circle are coming off. Probably want to pull that one - could be especially dangerous for 3 year olds.

1) Having a majority on each Committee versus power sharing/deadlocks requiring discharge petitions;

If you've never followed #CripTheVote, consider the last 24 hours of Fetterman coverage your signal to do so.
It's shameful to see political coverage that is so dismissive of disability or condescending to basic accommodations.

@austinmarathon can you point me in the direction of 2013 half marathon race results?

@trimet will the Orange line be accessible via SE Bybee Blvd during the marathon tomorrow?
