NEW: As Travis County DA José Garza came under fire for routinely missing an indictment deadline, he said others struggled to meet it, too.
That doesn't appear to be the case.

@OleBeezer@scottbraddock Just checking - you’re calling former Senator Bob Duncan a D? Do u even know who he is or just don’t bother with facts any more?
As an experienced parent (and a good one, I hope), I’m going to respectfully disagree. Hunter’s continued bad behavior is pretty much guaranteed to happen again because daddy keeps bailing him out. No consequences, no lesson, no change in behavior. Agree that a hard 10 would have been difficult to watch as a parent. But this is not his first rodeo. Likely won’t be his last either since he got away with it. Our job as parents is to guide and assist, but not to scoop up and rescue when consequences have been earned.
@_derekmitchell_@LoewyLawFirm Disagree. The far left are the only left that showed up. The moderate left didn’t. Which is why she lost. They do not identify with her far left extreme positions.
A tentative agreement between the City of Austin and the Austin Police Association (APA) is a positive new chapter in the future of public safety in our city.
This agreement ensures strong community oversight. It also assures officers the long-term protections and assurances needed to address our staffing challenges and help them afford to live in the city they serve.
For too long, Austin was stuck in a contentious stalemate over police and policing. I greatly appreciate that APA President Michael Bullock came into office this year willing to talk. And I’m thankful for the work of the city manager’s office in keeping a focus on turning a corner on the relationship.
I’m also proud of the work my Council colleagues and I have done to both respect our voters and support our officers.
We’re in fact turning the corner on public safety and policing in Austin. For the first time in five years, Austin is on track to end this year with more officers than when the year started. In addition, we’ve brought in new leadership with Police Chief Lisa Davis and incoming Assistant City Manager Eddie Garcia, the retiring Dallas police chief who will oversee all of Austin’s public safety departments. And a five-year agreement with the police union will be a great big step and one we’ve worked hard to achieve
