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.
