Debra Miller- Urging new Mayor and City Council of Austin to stop being a Karen: When dispatch sends a fire truck, a crew of four and a supervisor to help an uninjured senior or disabled person (a lift assist; ) up from their favorite recliner in their senior living center three times a da.y and there are three cars in the fire department….

When Prop B allows Travis County-government offices and any Austin businesses who choose; to violate the rights of a disabled person in a wheelchair in 105 degree temperatures by refusing access to an outlet in plain sight in the lobby during business hours while they are open to the public; that they dispatch the sheriffs department to escort the person off the property. Travis county sheriffs department answer was to call the police and fire? When we are so in fear of a homeless encampment that businesses are allowed to tell a little Ike lady in a broken down wheelchair to call a fire truck to charge a wheelchair battery in stress of sending a car with a battery charger. Or even an extension cord to the inside of the business; we ALL LOSE!!!
