Austin’s $6.3B Budget Proposal, Antone’s Big Birthday, and Locals Fundraise for Flood Relief


Listen Later

This week, Austin City Manager T.C. Broadnax unveiled his proposed $6.3 billion budget, which aims to shore up the city's deficit while avoiding a direct call for a tax-rate election. But will it work? Some city leaders are skeptical. On this week's Friday News Round Up, host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by Hey Austin newsletter editor Kelsey Bradshaw and executive producer Eva Ruth Moravec to tell you everything you need to know. We also dive into Antone's 50th year of legendary live music, IKEA's new "small city store" in San Marcos, and how locals are raising big money for flood relief. Plus, the growing petition to pause the convention center rebuild, and why you should come to our birthday party this weekend!
