Public Safety
- Excerpt: "Austin is one of the premier cities in the world, we should treat our public servants on our police force, fire department, and EMS departments as if our lives depend on it- because they do! We should have the best of all of these, and pay them like it, because they want to live here, just like you do!"
Livability
