A Little Victory for Austin Taxpayers
Sweet! The Austin Community College Board of Trustees decided on Monday to opt-out of the City of Austin’s shameful historic property tax giveaway program to some of Austin’s wealthiest. (You might watch this video by respected preservationist Rick Harden, who blew the whistle on this a few weeks ago.)
We have a lot more work to do together to level the playing field for ordinary residents.
Come to our State Your Beef & Take Action meeting next Thursday y’all!

Government property
Over 65 y/o
“Historic Homes”
Disabled Vets (I am all for honoring disabled vets; however, I visited with a fiend who has a complete disability from the military and he said, “I do not have to pay any property tax due to my military disability!”) I was surprised.
