City Cast Austin Austin Fights Bathroom Bill, RIP Local Businesses, and the Student Still Missing After 5 Years
Texas' so-called Bathroom Bill is now in full effect and enforcement of this law remains murky. Still, this week Attorney General Ken Paxton launched a tip line to encourage residents to report suspected violations. Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by executive producer Eva Ruth Moravec and Hey Austin newsletter editor Kelsey Bradshaw to discuss the bill's effects and how the city is fighting back. Plus, why is Texas collecting a list of names of people who have tried to change the gender marker on their ID? And later in the episode, the team breaks down the latest developments around Texas State University's decision to cancel a Black History Month exhibit, reflects on the five-year anniversary of a mysterious disappearance, and pays tribute to the businesses Austin lost this year.
