Behold, the continuing saga that is the Austin mayor's race:

'Levy to skip run for mayor' - Austin American-Statesman - Former Texas Monthly publisher Mike Levy has opted out of the mayor's race after mulling it over for several months. Who can blame him, really?

'Strayhorn slams city for not paying "Friday Night Lights"' - Austin American-Statesman - The latest from Carole McKeeton Straylander's bumbling excuse of a campaign. She's accusing the city of reneging on a contract with NBC - except that it appears NBC hasn't complied with all of the terms of the contract. Really, Carole? You think contracts should be honored by their "intent" rather than their letter? I guess that explains a lot about how you handled the state budget.
