City Cast Austin A Reality TV Star for City Council? Plus, Wild Animals Need More Space and Austerity Measures
A reality TV star recently announced her candidacy for Austin mayor, only to learn that the seat isn’t quite open yet. Now, Farrah Abraham is set to run for city council — but can she? Plus, since voters shot down Austin City Council’s request for more taxes, the city has shifted its focus to saving money. Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by Amy Stansbury of The Austin Common for the latest on Austin City Hall, including what the city’s austerity plan actually looks like, and a new proposal to provide more affordable housing for middle-class Austinites.
