Advice from former Austin Mayor Steve Adler's campaign manager: don't read the comments.

At this morning's MBC meeting, Adler explained how he learned to appreciate the difference between public discourse and social media. In one discussion about homelessness, he found 70% of commenters didn't live in Austin.

He also took us inside leading Austin through COVID, a new 10-district council and a growing city.

Yesterday morning's conversation on Texas water security zeroed in on a resource we're not using well: groundwater.

As Texas water attorneys and policy experts Ed McCarthy and Lynn Sherman explained: while surface water is fully tapped, groundwater sits underleveraged, managed only through a patchwork of local conservation districts rather than any coordinated statewide approach. A 1961 government report warned that ignoring the state's water resources would bring "greater disasters to come." Today, with growth surging and reservoirs stalled, that warning still holds.
