The Totally Awesome AusChron Newscast Is up for Adoption
The city budget, pedicabs, and faulty fire science
By Jordan Smith and Wells Dunbar, 1:10PM, Fri. Sep. 17, 2010
Better late than never, right? The Totescast is chiming in on the city’s recent budget adoption, and some of the questions still hovering over the omnibus package – primarily, the front and center placement of public safety spending.
Shifting gears, we turn to complaints in the pedicab industry, as the rapidly growing field butts up against both police and city regulation. And lastly, a lament for the Texas Fire Marshal's Office defense of faulty science in the controversial Cameron Todd Willingham arson case. As always, Jordan Smith and Wells Dunbar are throwing more fuel on the fire.
