Wrong time for this. We just had an annual 20% city tax increase. This City is going to have learn to live within its means. #HB1900 #TXLege #ATXCouncil https://t.co/atldZcGn6I pic.twitter.com/4EqRh1pFbc

If you are against this, email the City Council members here: https://www.austintexas.gov/email/all-council-members. Or you can also email your specific representative individually.

Item 6

Approve a resolution directing the Chief Financial Officer of the City to calculate the City's proposed voter-approval property tax rate with an increase of 8% above the City's current maintenance and operations rate as allowed by the Texas Tax Code for taxing units located in areas declared a disaster by the Governor of the State of Texas.

It's their last chance to really run it up due to the tax law passed a while back that limits year over year increases.

Why should anybody waste their time emailing those scum suckers. They're going to do whatever the f they want to, regardless of the will of the people. For example, see the reluctance to actually do anything about the renewed homeless camping ban.

Oh I am sure it'll get approved. Doesn't mean that I won't ***** at them about it though. If enough people *****, maybe they'll eventually listen. Or some better candidates will run (but the dumbasses here will probably vote in the lefties anyway).

Shah! And monkeys might fly out of my butt...
