AUSTIN, Texas - Some feel that Austin Mayor Steve Adler's latest tweet is politicizing Proposition B. It said the people who have voted early thus far are older and more Republican. "The fact that certain districts, or certain ages or certain parties thus far are having a disproportionate voice although an important voice, is something I think is important for people to know," said Mayor Adler. Several people replied to the tweet, one saying the statement was terrible coming from a leader. Others said they were liberal and voting yes to Prop B.
