District 7 Budget Town Hall
Share your thoughts and ask questions on the city’s new budget with District 7 City Council Member Leslie Pool.
“It’s been said that the moral test of government is how it treats those in the dawn of life, those in the twilight of life, and those in the shadows of life. Certainly our neighbors who are continuing to experience homelessness are in the shadows of life – and I couldn’t agree more that how we treat them is, fundamentally, a moral issue.”
– Austin City Manager Spencer Cronk, when announcing his draft proposal for the new city’s budget. You can learn more his proposal here.
Did you know? Austin has curbside composting. Here’s how it works…
Earlier this year, Austin Resource Recovery finished its multi-year rollout of curbside composting, which means that all curbside customers now have access to the service.
Lots of things can go into your compost cart, including pizza boxes, cooked or raw meat, and popsicle sticks.
Just remember that plastics bags, diapers, and wine corks can't go into your green compost cart!
