Oppose HB274

To: Gov. Abbott, Lt. Gov. Patrick, Rep. Cole, Sen. Eckhardt

From: A constituent in Austin, TX

December 5

As a resident of Austin I strongly opposed HB274. The homicide rate for Austin is being cited as one reason for creating a district. The homicide rate for Austin is 6/100k. For comparison it is 11/100k, for Fort Worth it is 7.5/100k, and for Houston it is 13/100k. The people who reside in Austin should decide how it is governed by those that city residents elect, rather than those at the Capitol.
