Yes, yes, I’m late getting the Summer QUARTERLY REPORT out.  My excuse is that the county budget season has overtaken me.  But, the Spring Quarterly Report is still a decent read focusing on civic integrity in (1) Talkin’ Trash (Zero Waste and Landfills), and (2) Criminal Justice and the Least Among Us.  For a look at this Spring Quarterly Report or at the Winter Quarterly Report click on the button to your right.

Based on recent trends, the population in Travis County is forecast to increase more than 40% in the next 15 years. That’s more than 300,000 additional neighbors. Meanwhile, federal and state government is shifting responsibilities for the environment, transportation, health and safety to regional and county government. Now more than ever, we must stand up and shape our future or have our future decided for us. We deserve good government that anticipates our needs as a community and insists on regional solutions for the best interest of the whole community.

Stand Up For:

• A mobile future in which a fair, efficient and affordable mix of sidewalks, bike lanes, busses, rail and roads are available to all as we move from home to work;
• A green future in which the natural beauty and character of our environment is preserved and supported by our residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural land use planning;
• A healthy future in which all residents have access to affordable physical and mental health care;
• A safe and fair future in which law enforcement works cooperatively with the communities it serves and courts are open, efficient, and fair; and
• A socially just future in which good regional governance in the public interest produces the highest efficiency, economic vitality, and quality of life for all its citizens.
