Would you ever make shirts again? A 10 year anniversary Mirai shirt???? I have a deck of Moekana which are brilliant. And Journey was my first, and is still my fave Smart Girl.

Thank you Danny and team for taking us along on your journey! For reminding us to take time to see the beauty around us. Your dolls give us inspiration, creativity, and memories from childhood on how to still be a kid even when you no longer are one. 💙

@dannychoo The YouTube Unboxing Video from 9 years ago was what started my love of Smartdolls. As a teen I knew I couldn’t afford one and my parents wouldn’t have approved it. I loved your fun personality and how clean the video felt and the music you picked drawed me in 💙 I love my Oceana

My goal in this budget process has always been to make sure we’re funding core, basic services in a balanced and disciplined manner. We know there is an inherent tension between asking people to pay rates, fees and taxes— and the issue of affordability. We want to make sure our city can provide the quality-of-life services that our residents deserve, but we also want to make sure we’re putting affordability first in our community. While I worry a lot about affordability, I also worry about the ability of our city to deliver quality services without more revenue. I strongly believe that if we're not making the kinds of investments we need to make in our people and our services, we will be managing decay in Austin in a very short period of time. This budget will not meet everyone’s concept of perfection. Truthfully, there are parts of the budget that I don’t like. That goes with living in a big, diverse city—different people will have different priorities, and we need to make room for all of us. Now, it is time for us to trust our voters. Voters have an opportunity in November to make a very important decision. From my perspective, the best part of this budget is that we fully fund our homeless strategy office. That was my greatest emphasis, and we've achieved it. It will make a world of difference in getting homeless people off the street in a very short period of time. I'm also very pleased with what we’ve added to funding for public safety, EMS, and wildfire prevention. A positive vote in the November tax rate election will allow us to pay for these needed services. And we make a significant investment in our parks. I look forward to a result that will be the best benefit of our community.
