Austin voters rejected Prop Q 67–34. So why is City Hall using the Prop Q budget as the baseline? There’s no $110M “cut” - the revenue never existed. Start from FY24–25 + base cost drivers. Protect core services. Stop fear tactics. Let’s budget in public.

Ep 91: Austin's Prop Q Fails
Listen to Dr. Raymond Robertson at @LSStandard as he debates trash imports in Texas.
There's an excess of trash in the U.S. - so why are we importing trash from other countries? Dr. Raymond Robertson, Director of the @MosbacherTAMU at @BushSchool, speaks with host @bradswail about tariffs and perverse economic incentives.
Prop Q wasn't just a vote on taxes and affordability—it was a referendum on trust. My colleagues and I now have an opportunity to change course and restore our constituents’ faith in local government, and I hope we seize it.

This is why there needs to be a new media source in Austin. @KUT - does any kind of increase make ATX more affordable? How much $ has been spent on the unhoused in last 3 years and have their goals been met? Is ATX more or less safe in the last 3 years? @MSearleATX @bradswail
A tax increase is a tax increase, but campaigns against the proposition have overinflated the impact on taxpayers. This calculator can help you see how your bill would be affected if Prop Q passes. kut.org/politics/2025-…

Councilmember mocks Steven's concerns over $300 , asking how could it cause someone to become homeless Meanwhile #atxcouncil has literally millions of dollars in assistance programs ( rent, utilities, cash transfers ) operating under that very thesis
"I am going to be forced to decide if Austin is still a place that I can afford to live." Vote No on Prop Q! #atxcouncil #propq #affordability
I was watching the Austin City Council Budget meeting today and thought - I want to see what's actually in the the thing. Here's what I found after analyzing the last 10 years of City of Austin budgets. Shocker, it's not great Austin’s budget grew from $3.5B in 2015 to $6.3B in…
