Friends of Dirty Martin's Kum-Back on the Drag, near the University of Texas, Update (Plus a quick 17 minute You-Tube Documentary)

 

Friends of Dirty Martin’s,


We have some news to share with you! Some bad, some good.


Yesterday, Austin Transit Partnership released it’s new plan for rail in Austin. Despite being less than one-third the size (9 miles versus the original 36 miles) of the 2020 proposal voters approved, it will still cost as much. And the new plan still has Dirty Martin’s in its path.


On the legislative front, our bill to Save Dirty’s passed out of the Senate on Monday. The bill goes back to the House for a vote to approve the Senate changes to the bill. If you would like to send an email or call legislators, please respond to this email and we can tell you how you can help.


In the meantime, please watch this new documentary Keep Austin Dirty - A Dirty Martin’s Documentary produced by UT student, Harrison Chiu.


Thank you for your continued support!

Austin, Texas has a DOG PROBLEM.....

  Austin, Texas has a DOG problem (Letter I wrote and sent) Dear Austin City Council Members, Hello and well regards, Yesterday afternoon during a simple bicycle pedal exercise ride, I was physically chased by an unleashed Pitbull dog in ZILKER PARK. Then directly after recovering from almost being mauled by an unleashed pit-bull in Zilker Park, I attempted to buy a Gatorade at a nearby Barton Springs Road Market, but that didn't go well either, as an interior Market commercial customer had a massive mixed breed dog trolling through the diminutive shopping isles. Then this morning, at a Coffee shop on SoCo, there was only 1 entry way in and out, and there was another large, although more docile mixed breed dog. All of this has occurred in less than 24 hours. What's the point? The City of Austin's dog friendliness and citizen enabling of irresponsible dog owners has gotten out of control. Newsflash! Not everybody like dogs, being everywhere all the time. especially within ...
