Did you know that Austin City Council is being strongly advised by the City Manager to raise your energy, water and property taxes by $265 this year?  That’s in addition to all the likely hikes from the county, the healthcare district and AISD.

Sign this letter/petition now!  An immediate message is sent to Mayor Leffingwell and the three other members of the Council up for reelection next — Cole, Martinez & Spelman.  Then send it to your friends across the city!  (P.S.  Mark your calendars to attend the first budget hearing on August 25th.  More info soon.)  You can also print the petition out (see below) and take it around in your neighborhood.
