Recent headlines confirm: Austin takes a looooong time to digest what it swallows.
I held this column last week so Nick Barbaro could have more space to lay out the Zilker Park visions that have emerged from the city's planning process for renewing, or"rewilding," its marquee public park.
This is all basically happening under a cone of silence as far as local media is concerned. We've gotten used to being a rare newsroom that really pays attention to these endless decision-making processes in real time, rather than just at the end when the sparks fly and blood flows in last-ditch conflicts.
Which means I can recall whether, as a member of City Council, Brigid Shea opposed or supported tax incentive programs for major employers back in the 1990s. She supported them, but with caveats, which is much the same as her position now – a position which has helped fuel challenger Bob Libal's campaign to oust her, with the county's Tesla deal as an example.
For her part, Margaret Gómez is taking her second challenge from Del Valle ISD Trustee Susanna Ledesma-Woody seriously enough to roll out some incredibly aggressive and shady campaign moves this week . Gómez is all for the Tesla deal and wants her opponent to suffer for being the only vote against DVISD's rolling out a similar package.
Since literally hundreds of thousands of people have moved to Central Texas since these things made news, let me inform you that they were very, very, very controversial throughout the decades it took to get from the planned WTP4 to the built Handcox, which right now is only putting out a third of what Ullrich does.
