From: LWV of the Austin Area

Empowering Voters. Defending Democracy.

Give a big shout out to the Weekly VOTER reader who let us know that the link to the City of Austin budget information page was incorrect. The correct link appears in the article below, and the dates for district-specific town halls have been updated on our calendar.

It is always great to hear feedback from readers who are dedicated to the League's mission of empowering voters and defending democracy.

Thank you,

Grace Chimene, Communications Team Leader

Advocacy

The City of Austin budget affects all of us!

💰 "City Manager T.C. Broadnax on Friday night proposed a $6.6 billion budget for the upcoming fiscal year that calls for cuts to social service contracts, parks and public health programs, eliminates vacant positions across several departments and preserves funding for other priorities as the city continues to balance the budget."

Read "Austin’s proposed $6.6B budget would raise taxes, cut services after Prop Q defeat" by Sam Stark in the Austin Current.

Attend a budget town hall hosted by your City Councilmember in July and August. Find meeting dates and more information here and on our calendar.

Take Action: Email City Council members to share your thoughts on the budget. Make your voice heard!

The League shall not support or oppose any political party or candidates. It may take action on governmental measures and policies in the public interest after significant study and consensus is reached.
