Quote:
Austin United PAC is supporting a citizen-initiated petition drive to give Austin
voters the right to set culture, arts, and parks funding as the top City priority for our hotel
tourism (HOT) tax dollars rather than wasting $3-4 billion on an unneeded Convention Center.
Quote:
The petitioned ordinance would be placed on a November 2025 ballot
and would put the demolition of our convention center and construction of a new $3 to $4 billion convention center on hold for seven years or until specifically approved by Austin
voters. It would allow Austin to redirect over $100 million or more every year to the promotion and support of culture and nature-in-the-city tourism.
