What kind of Texas are we leaving for the next generation? My new Dean’s Message shares my thoughts about the demand for policy solutions that address present challenges and future needs. Read it here: https://t.co/swq3yj88XV @hobbyschooluh
Huge THANK YOU to the @austinenergy crews who worked all night (and ongoing) to restore power to our home and that of thousands of others impacted by hundreds of individual outages.
The @AAROctx announced their ten 2021 McBee Fellows and ALL ten are Alumni! This group will spend a year with the AARO, 115+ regional civic entrepreneurs, working on a variety of public policy issues to improve long-term economic and social quality of life for all Central Texans.
@blockchainbudd@TransitNowATX@GregCasar@AustinChronicle $1341 - average cost of congestion per Austin commuter in 2017 (most recent TTI #) $550 in 2000. Much rather be investing the $$ you quote in a transit system than spending more and more in lost time, fuel and wear-and-tear on my car with nothing to show for it but road rage
The great thing about well-made investments in our future is the positive effects quickly begin to multiply. Keep up the great work @ClayDellMed and @DellMedSchool
Austin ranked #3 in emerging life-science cities, w/ substantial growth in new companies & investment. Part of the promise to the community for investing in @DellMedSchool, & things are only just getting started. @JCHartzell@uthealthaustin@MichaelDell https://t.co/4Udk5Kb3Mo
Congratulations to AARO's 2021 Frank McBee Jr. Fellows. Looking forward to a great year of conversation, new ideas and leaning into the work to create the future we all want for our region #CTXLeaders
These highly accomplished community leaders will spend a year with the AARO membership, 115+ regional civic entrepreneurs, working on a variety of public policy issues to improve the long-term economic and social quality of life for all Central Texans. Here's to 2021!
If you haven't already, make your plans to vote. Still noodling over your sample ballot? Here's an opportunity to ask questions about Prop A! @TransitNowATX
Undecided on Prop A? Join us with our regional mobility partner @Movability for a Conversation w @MayorAdler about Prop A - Wed Oct 28 at 11am. Registration is Free at https://t.co/68LCUwlr6r @TransitForATX#ProjectConnect
Trains rolled into @CapMetroATX's new Downtown Station on Monday morning for the first time. The $37 million project beat its expected timeline by six months and came in $3 million under budget, according to officials. | @SamuelKingNews https://t.co/9ZKIqXA0GM
NOW is the time! We missed out on a 21st Century transit system in 2000 and have paid the price in congestion and affordability. This is what our city needs for our future. Vote FOR Prop A!
Prop A is a generational investment that is essential to our future. Project Connect is good for Austin, good for the region and good for our future. See our statement at: https://t.co/Ue6YuHTxaP @TransitNowATX#ProjectConnect

So glad to see @CapMetroATX Board recognize Sena-Dean Kirk Watson just now for his decades of service to our community and in particular his work on and for transit. @KirkPWatson gave a strong argument for the importance of transit and Prop A @TransitNowATX
A tremendous community effort & victory. This is the 9th anniversary of my speech asking us to achieve 10 Goals in 10 Years for better health & economy. It was embraced. We've succeeded. I can't imagine this pandemic w/out @DellMedSchool among other assets from the 10 goals.
These are tough times everywhere. If you can, please help Lyli (my Chilian host sister) fight cancer - I lived with her and her family for a semester during college not long after Sarah. https://t.co/qZoFXv0GDT
For Central Texas to be dynamic, thriving and sustainable for all, we must fully engage in the ongoing work to end the institutional racism and systemic inequities that plague our society. See our full statement https://t.co/aE68vD10Nr
"us" it's who we are - in the whole USofA, in AusTIN, and (say it with a good Texas twang) in Tex-us. A mask on each of us is a win for all of us - suit up folks!
