"Previous councils and leadership have actively worked against our officers and department, which has now put us in a free-falling staffing crisis," Bullock warned. "Twice now we’ve had our contract voted down or it has been allowed to expire. Each year since 2017, we’ve lost more officers than we’ve hired. We had to gut our specialized units and force detectives to work backfill on patrol just to try and respond to 911 calls."

I have such found memories working in Texas circa 81-83. I can’t imagine how it is now… although the rest of the Country has gone crazy also.

Good Morning Gene,
It sounds like these people around Auston need to get their heads out of their butts. They better start talking with their votes while their is still time before they become like California.
I was meaning to message you. How are you? Is that fire down there affecting you any?
