As different political clubs around town become engaged in planning for the November election, there’s bound to be a lot of heat and light. Glen Coleman, president of Central Austin Democrats, notes that his club endorsed the $600 million rail bond proposal Wednesday night after considerable discussion. Coleman said, “We had a spirited discussion which I would characterize, frankly, as a mix of anti-rail heat and pro-rail light. Rail prevailed, but it was pretty close.”
