The Battle of TLAC
Split council to face simple up-or-down decision on the proposed replacement for Town Lake Animal Center.

The battle over Town Lake Animal Center just got a bit simpler since this morning, when it looked like there would be rival, opposing plans on the council agenda for this Thursday. Now it's just the one.
It's been reported that council members Mike Martinez and Jennifer Kim have pulled their agenda item, which would have completely re-opened the search for new ways to deal with Austin's stray animal problems. Instead, it's going to become a straight up-or-down battle over the Will Wynn/Betty Dunkerley-backed proposal to just start on the proposed location at Airport and 183.
