This November, voters will not only be participating in one of the most watched presidential elections in history, but Austinites will also be deciding whether or not to support an 8.75 cent tax rate increase for the Project Connect transit plan. Supporters say Austin is long overdue for a modernized public transit system while opponents say now is the wrong time to be increasing property taxes. Watch the discussion, Project Connect: Community Investment or Costly Burden, with Travis County Commissioner Gerald Daugherty and Special Assistant to the Mayor John-Michael Cortez, moderated by ABoR CEO Emily Chenevert and Director of Government Affairs Jeni Williams.
