The Austin Chronicle is an independent, locally owned and operated alternative newsweekly that reflects the heart and soul of Austin, Texas.
We may be cut-ups, but nothing compared to the slice & dice redistricting of Travis County at the Lege, as Lee Nichols and Richard Whittaker note. Wells Dunbar waxes on potential City Council districts and early voting in the Place 3 run-off, while the gang offers quick hits on Formula One and “Pastor” Rick Perry’s day of prayer (for his prez campaign).
