Hustle for Mayor: Brewster McCracken (Part 1)

The Hustle For Mayor is a series of unhurried, one-on-one video interviews with Austin's mayoral candidates. The conversations delve deeply into the issues shaping the race for mayor: the local economy, the city budget, public safety, development, the environment and a host of other issues.

In his interview, Mayor Pro Tem Brewster McCracken addresses his campaign focus on high-tech jobs, his history with the controversial public safety premium, transportation, urban design issues and more.

[hotkiss79]

this guy is a total douche bag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cllangford]

When did this become about bashing Austin or Texas, isn't that what St. Louis is mad about? Bash the guy who said it if you must, but why the location, seems to me you're no better than the original commercial. This stream of comments has become racist, ignorant, and overwhelmingly inappropriate. Sorry to see this happen around the Chronicle's interview.

Dust? Dude, you have never been to Austin.

Dear Bitter Broad,

How nice of you to speak for the general understanding of all Americans. That makes you no better than a politician that speaks without firsthand knowledge. St Louis is a crime ridden, under employed, dirty river town. "Faux Progressive"? We have the second largest semiconductor industry in the country. We are one of the greenest cities of our size in the world. Go to East St Louis and witness a rape or three and some armed assaults and get back to me. Clueless troll.
