Austin news tonight:
City of Austin has a petition with over 6,000 signatures to secde from the State of Texas, but they want to annex Dublin for the Dr Pepper and Shiner for the brewery ... true story, they're keeping it weird

And while they are at it, they might want to give all their senatorial candidates a test or review session on female reproductive physiology. If they think they can win in the future and not make changes, they are just as foolish as those who think that seceding is a viable option.
