Four Questions Blair Won't Answer
The Shadow Quorum
A secret, unposted meeting with a voting majority of the Housing Committee to discuss relocating The Bridge homeless center — without public input.
The Atkins Dynasty
Hand-picked by 20-year incumbent Tennell Atkins, backed by his donor list. Is this new leadership or a third term for the old guard?
Development Double-Speak
She campaigns against warehouses on Wheatland Road — but spent 4 years on the City Plan Commission approving Inland Port expansion for the same donors.
Local Control Hypocrisy
She publicly rebukes Austin for overriding local zoning. She privately meets behind closed doors to override residents on homelessness policy.
