Is Austin’s Tax Rate Election Misleading? Plus, That $1.1 Million Logo

Last week, the City of Austin unveiled a new $1.1 million logo and rebrand (https://mailchi.mp/accd/city-of-austi...) , just as it prepares to ask Austin voters to raise taxes. Austin is facing a budget deficit, and in order to maintain services, the city is asking voters to increase property taxes in November. But one man, former mayoral candidate Jeffery Bowen (https://austin.citycast.fm/podcasts/w...) , says the ballot language is misleading, and is suing the city over it (https://www.kut.org/austin/2025-09-01...) . So, just what will Austin voters be agreeing to if they vote for the tax rate increase? And why does Bowen’s lawyer, Bill Aleshire, keep suing the city? Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by Luz Moreno-Lozano, who covers city hall for KUT, to discuss it all.  Learn more about the sponsors of this September 8th episode: • Downtown Austin Alliance (https://downtownaustin.com/explore/si...) • Wise (https://wise.com/us/compare/) • Huel (https://huel.com/austin) - Use code AUSTIN for 15% off for new customers Want some more Austin news?
