Watch the Debate on Proposed Water Treatment Plant

The City Council will host a Town Hall dialogue and debate featuring Austin’s environmental leaders, including our own Brian Rodgers, on whether Austin should commit a billion dollars to building “Water Treatment Plant No. 4.” Learn more about this issue by clicking here.

Please come!  The Chamber of Commerce will be out in force and they want your tax money to fund their agenda.

Meanwhile, the Council passed the City Budget yesterday, which includes a number of rate hikes. In response, Skippy the blogger said, “Skippy would like to make a prediction today and that is that the next 12 months could be the toughest economic time in Austin’s history and that there will be more cuts and layoffs at mid-year in City government. The budget is built upon rosy assumptions. You heard it here first mates!”

Let’s hope that Skippy is incorrect.  But just in case he’s right, why don’t you hunker down with ChangeAustin.org and become a member for just $20 for the year.  Membership entitles you to vote on the candidates we will endorse.

One thing is for sure, Skippy.  Austin will continue to see some very challenging times.  We’re all gonna have to pitch it to make things right.

Hope to see you this Thursday night.

PS  You can also become a sustaining member for as little as $5 per month. Help fuel our efforts for YOU!
