AUSTIN, Texas — Today is Election Day, and Austinites will see several items on the ballot. This includes 17 state constitutional amendments and Austin’s controversial Proposition Q that could raise property taxes. City officials say the proposed $0.05 property tax rate increase above the voter-approval rate would generate $110 million to fund city services such as public health, safety and homelessness initiatives.
Ahead of Election Day, voters have expressed mixed opinions on the proposition. Some Austinites say a tax increase is the best way to benefit city services. But others say the tax increase could tax regular people out of the community.
We have heard your concerns, and we want to ask you, what impact will Proposition Q have if passed? ANSWER BELOW and see the results LIVE on CBS Austin This Morning from 4:30 a.m. – 7:00 a.m.
