A huge #econdev hit for Colorado Springs, who has built an entire cluster strategy around this asset. Also extremely disruptive to talent driving this sector.

This.
Knew coming out of this game the reaction and knee-jerk take fest about Arch Manning would be ridiculous to either side of the outcome. Ultimate concern level for the 2025 Texas Longhorns is a 1/10. Those are two really good teams.

💯 🤘.
For the record… a kid making his *3rd ever start* vs a top 3 team, on the road, to open the season, is allowed to struggle. Let’s not act like Arch can’t play football all of a sudden just for some retweets. #Texas.

Finally, an airport plan that matches the ambition of our great city. Thank you @KirkPWatson for pushing for this! #Austin #cities.
BREAKING: Austin's airport expansion will get even bigger under a deal approved just now by the City Council. The contract with seven major airlines unlocks billions in funding and will lead to more than 20 gates being constructed by the early 2030s.

🔹 Annual referendums? With a new 1% revenue cap, many local governments may have to go to voters every year just to fund basic services. 🔹 Falling behind costs. A 1% cap isn't likely to keep pace with inflation, public safety demands, or staffing needed to deliver services.

My take: "#Workforce is the new currency of economic development. #Cities that are serious about long-term growth are investing in #talent — not just attracting it, but cultivating it." #econdev
