I was going to ask Ann Del Llano to be my date

Dig it: Today’s the going-away party for Austin Police Association prez Mike Sheffield. Big Sheff’s leaving to join state law lobbyists CLEAT, and show them how he got Austin cops the fattest salaries in the state. His influence will be felt for years to come, especially around budget time.

From the press release:
