Chamber Supports Vote FOR Prop 1

The Austin Chamber Board of Directors approved a resolution in support of Proposition 1 on the May 7th ballot. Read the resolution here.

"This is a complex issue that has generated thoughtful discussion in the business community. After careful consideration of both sides of the proposition, we don't believe the City should have enacted new regulations," said Tony Budet, Chairman, Austin Chamber. "Austin's original TNC practices were working well. A dynamic, job-producing business community requires that the City keep its commitments and not allow regulations to change every time a new city council is elected."

Polls will be open this Saturday, May 7th.  Click here for voting details.
