Do you agree that the ballot language proposed for two ballot petitions – the CodeNEXT petition and the Austin Efficiency Audit – was misleading to the voters of Austin and if so, will you help clarify to voters what these measures really mean – regardless of how you might vote on them?

Yes, I think the ballot language should have been left unchanged from the language that was used on the petition when the signatures were collected. It is critical we don’t over step our authority as a city and we work to foster and create trust.
