This week, Austin City Council will adopt next year’s budget, and all signs are pointing towards a tax rate election. Sales taxes aren’t what they used to be, federal cuts have hit the city’s bottom line, and employment costs continue to rise, all contributing to the $33.4 million deficit that isn’t going away anytime soon. Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by Amy Stansbury of The Austin Common to get into the three things that every Austinite should know about how the city plans to spend your money.
