(Community Matters) The Statesman’s editorial calling for a better deal for Austin residents going forward in corporate relocation incentives isn’t off the mark. Kudos to the Chamber, especially it’s Opportunity Austin – and, the game is changing. Taxpayers are demanding fewer and better returns for giving away tax dollars – not always where Ds and Rs come together but we ought to celebrate it.
community matters
It's about community, entrepreneurs, politics, art . . and sometimes just silly fun . . . a slightly gay blog.Eugene Sepulveda
Love big West Texas skies, Austin and my husband, Dr. Steven Robert Tomlinson, with whom I’ve spent the last 18 years – thirteen 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.
