Austin Proposition I is on the November 3, 2026 ballot in Texas.
What it does
Amend the city charter to require an Independent Affordability and Efficiency Initiative on a regular basis and before tax rate increase elections
On your ballot
Shall the City Charter be amended to require an Independent Affordability and Efficiency Initiative on a regular basis and before any tax rate increase election and requiring the independent contractor to identify annual and multi-year savings that exceed the cost of the contractor’s service?
What a yes vote means
A "yes" vote supports amending the city charter to require an Independent Affordability and Efficiency Initiative on a regular basis and before tax rate increase elections and to require "the independent contractor to identify annual and multi-year savings that exceed the cost of the contractor's service."
This proposition is the equivalent of "DOGE" and is a front for billionaires wanting tax funding to undermine the city council
