ChangeAustin.org had the pleasure of sitting down with Travis County Commissioner Sarah Eckhardt and staff today to discuss how we might work together.  The hot topic — economic incentives.  Sarah, and the entire County Commission, are revisiting this issue.   We’ll have all the dish at our next meeting scheduled for Saturday, February 14th, 3  to 5 pm (location to be announced — check our calendar on the front page.)

It seems that both the Austin City Council and the County Commission are starting to take a re-look at incentives AND the concerns that have been raised repeatedly by Austin City activists for a more transparent and open government.   You might read about it in today’s Statesman here.

Obviously, the devil is in the details of these new policies as they develop, but there can be no substitution for an organized electorate that can spring in to action.  That’s us, folks!  

We have teams that are working now on Research, Speaking, Administration, and most important, Community Organizing.
