🎙️ Eric & Bob in the Morning – Full Podcast Recap

Today was a packed Fun Friday! Kyle Park called in to announce his new album — a tribute to Marty Robbins’ classic Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs in honor of what would have been Marty’s 100th birthday. Jimmy Carter delivered his entertaining report, Monte Warden joined us in studio for some live pickin’, and sports reporter Waylon Payne checked in with the latest. Music, laughs, and good times all rolled into one show!

This morning on the Eric & Bob Morning Show, we talked with Matt Mackowiak, co-founder of Save Austin Now, to discuss the upcoming vote on Proposition Q.

Prop Q is a proposed property tax increase that would raise Austin’s tax rate to $0.574017 per $100 of assessed value—about 5 cents higher than the voter-approved rate. For the average homeowner, that means roughly $25 more per month. The city says the funds would go toward housing affordability, homelessness initiatives, parks, public health, and public safety.

Matt broke down what Prop Q means for Austin, why it’s on the ballot, and what citizens should consider before voting. The conversation also covered the bigger picture of local politics and citizen-led initiatives shaping the future of Austin.
