Demling Was the Case That They Gave Me

A disturbing note from former (and future?) City Council candidate, Urban Transportation Committee member and friend of the Hustle, Allen Demling:
Last night my house was shot at. Fortunately no one was hurt, and it sucks pretty bad, but I figure maybe there is some City Hall Hustle fodder in there. It is getting to that point where candidates should start considering whether or not they want to run for 2009 city council. Maybe someone thought I needed a little persuasion to stay out of the race. I also kinda want to get this out there cause the more people that know about it, the more likely there may be someone who heard something, and tips off the police.Demling continues …
Well, I'm not going to name names, but lets just say there are some tough questions that need to be answered. It also happened to occur on the same day that Misprint was released with a half page ad for my future (way future) camPAIN. Who knows, maybe the Red River condo developers are getting scared.All joking aside, if anyone has any information, please contact the Austin Police Department.
