HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM DEEDA: Our rst house sat about a mile north of Moontower Saloon, so we were frequent guests on its sprawling patio under the twinkly lights along Menchaca Road. At the time, it was one of the only beer gardens in the area. Today, it’s surrounded on both sides by bars. In our front-page story, we share how the stretch has become a going-out district in the heart of South Austin, or what Moontower refers to as “Way South Awesome, Texas.” Deeda Lovett, GENERAL MANAGER
FROM DARCY: This month we delved into the police contract negotiations and two police oversight ballot measures knowing that the topic has invoked strong political feelings. As always, our goal is to provide you with the facts. Our hope is that you read our front-page story and walk into the ballot box understanding what you are voting on and which way you wish to cast a ballot—for Prop. A, Prop. B, both or neither. Check out Page 28 for more info. Darcy Sprague, EDITOR
CORRECTION: Volume 15, issue 11 On Page 1, Dripping Springs ISD would fund the construction of one new school through the bond if passed. The expansion of Sycamore Springs Middle School and the design of three other schools would also be funded, but the construction of the those three new facilities is not included in the bond. On Page 30-31, the correct Dripping Springs ISD tax rate is $1.2929 and the current student capacity at Sycamore Springs Elementary School is 850.
