In today’s Friday News Roundup, Kelsey Bradshaw fills in as host to discuss the $2 billion budget recently adopted by Travis County Commissioners, and a potential forthcoming contract between the City of Austin and the Austin Police Union, which puts a new twist on the fight over the police department’s so-called “G files.” Also on the list of topics up for discussion: How LGBTQ-plus Texans spammed a Texas Department of Public Safety email address with ‘Bee Movie’ scripts in retaliation for anti-trans policies. Bradshaw is joined by Maggie Quinlan of the Austin Chronicle and City Cast Austin’s executive producer, Eva Ruth Moravec. Plus, stick around after the roundup for our Don’t Go Gently tip for this weekend.
