The basic process here in Austin is similar, and it sounds pretty simple: the House and Senate both need to pass the same version of a bill, and then it goes to the governor for his or her signature, just like Congress does for the president. If the governor doesn't approve, he can veto a bill, preventing it from becoming law. However, things get more complicated in practice.

Across the city, local businesses hosted “fueling stations” to support Austin’s two-wheeled commuters with tacos and coffee.

So far this summer, the capital city hasn’t been wracked with quite as many heat warnings as last year, but with temperatures regularly hitting the upper 90s, the weather still poses a significant threat to the most vulnerable Austinites—and their pets. In response, the Animal Advisory Commission unanimously passed a resolution this week urging the city to permit pets inside city-run cooling centers.
