With our strong vote for Kathie Tovo in the previous city council election in May 2011 (we were among the highest percentage as well as number of votes cast), our neighborhoods have gotten the attention of City Hall and election campaigns across the city. If we all vote in the run-off election, we will have a say in future decisions that the City Council may make, and we will be heard. For this reason, we need to VOTE this time! Randi Shade's backers are throwing huge resources at this race. They know that if Kathie Tovo wins, they will not be insiders soaking up money from the taxpayers like they did with Shade. Kathie's grassroots campaign relies on volunteers like us. Kathie will not owe the special interests when she is on the Council, she will listen to us. This election will be won on turnout. Clearly, a majority of Austinites want Kathie Tovo to take over the City Council Place. Kathie came close to a majority in the first round and soundly beat Shade. Max Nofziger and Kris Bailey, the other two candidates have both endorsed Kathie Tovo in this runoff. Stop the Shafts endorses Kathie Tovo. We have a commitment from Kathie to take a fresh look at WTP4 including our Shaft site. We are confident that we will win on the merits. We know that risking the destruction of the headwaters of Bull Creek with Austin Water Utility's current Shaft plan is irrational. We know that the City's own figures prove that WTP4 is not needed for many years, if ever. |
