'I’m going to defend the values of my city': KirkPWatson on why he wants the job of Austin mayor again. | via texasstandard
between former state Sen. Kirk Watson and outgoing state Rep. Celia Israel.
Sure, and frankly, what I’ve said all along – although in campaigns, of course, things get distorted a little bit – is we need to make this the best plan we possibly can. And for quite a while I have been very successful in pushing TxDOT to improve this plan. So for example, as recently as 2017, TxDOT was talking about even maybe adding lanes to the upper deck. And I was able to get them to take out the upper decks altogether. We have to make that road work.
Well, I believe we need to have full staffing, and they’re not fully staffed. But let me come at it from this approach: Look, everybody in this town has a right to be safe, and they have a right to feel safe. But again, it’s not a binary choice. We can have a just policing system by utilizing good recruitment, training, supervision and have a transparent system of accountability that actually works. But we have to be fully staffed.
