(Community Matters) I’ve had an interesting online exchange with an acquaintance who resents the extra $25, $50 and $100 in taxes for most Travis County residents to establish a UT medical school in Austin. He notes that this is in addition to taxes for Obamacare. The guy is a good guy – a creator of jobs and a socially engaged citizen. The exchange is in response to my earlier posting supporting the Healtcare District 5 cents tax increase. Thought I’d share the exchange:

Love big West Texas skies, the unimpeded horizons of the coasts, Austin and my husband, the Rev. Dr. Steven Robert Tomlinson, with whom I’ve spent the last 24 years – nineteen years since we were married on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada. Then, married again at St. James Episcopal Church in Austin, TX on June 27, 2015.
