Strong substack post from @Bowen4Austin on the real difference between the City’s ordinance and Prop I.

Selena Xie is on the side of the rewriteable audit ordinance.

She opposes locking the audit into the charter.

Mayor Watson and his wife both maxed out to her on the same day.

I want an Austin that works.
I pay for a city. Deliver one.
I like my music loud. And City Hall accountable.
I want every consultant to show the work.

Vote YES on Prop I.

ENRAGING: The City of Austin used taxpayer funds to design, approve and post a deliberately misleading 'fact sheet' about their fake audit (which has no transparency requirement and AFSCME as a direct partner) and out OUTSIDE AUDIT.

So, @AleshireLaw took the time to correct their fact sheet.

Had enough of these games?

Why does the city not want to be independently audited on a performance basis with maximum transparency?

[Mackenzie Kelly @mkelly007]

A city newsletter from the current District 6 council member calls Prop I “more expensive” and warns of service cuts and lawsuits. That reads like opposition, not neutral voter information. If public resources paid for this, it deserves an ethics review. Taxpayers deserve facts, not a publicly funded sales pitch.

cc: @AleshireLaw (The Proposition I section specifically raises a credible concern under Texas Election Code § 255.003.)

City Council's good intentions fail on follow through.

"the City already has an outside review underway. Council created it by ordinance... But an ordinance can be changed or repealed by six votes at the dais. A charter provision can only be changed by going back to the voters."

Straight answers about Prop I / Part 4

What does the review cost?

The reviewer must commit, by contract, to identify annual or multi-year savings that exceed the cost of its services. Austin's City Auditor manages the selection and the contract.

Yes on Prop I = less for the CEOs and consultants City Hall keeps hiring, more pressure to actually save money for the rest of us.
