Austin, Texas’s, Mayor Steve Adler is a politician who seems like he would be a better fit for the over-regulated and authoritarian state of California, but despite being the mayor of the heavily Democrat city of Austin, he’s still a Mayor in the heavily Republican state of Texas where Greg Abbott sits at the Governor’s desk, and Abbott isn’t allowing Adler to get away with hard-left nonsense.
Adler recently attempted to shut the city down on New Year’s Eve by issuing an order to restaurants looking to allow Austinites to celebrate the last moments of 2020 and the first moments of 2021. The order stops all dine-in services from 10:30 p.m. to 6 a.m. until January 3.
