Yes. I Support the “Austin Affordability Action Plan”. The overall plan is a good step in the right direction for people in poverty. My support of using the effective tax rate vs. setting a rate either the same as previous years or higher would largely be dependent on whether or not the budget achieves the goals that I hope to see. Additional funding should be put to its best and highest use by helping people who need it most, improving access and infrastructure and taking a regular community needs assessment by way of employing community advocates.
