Interesting. Hopefully it passes. I'd rather it just get totally repealed though. Along with all the other "Austin-bashing" laws.
I'm a little confused as to why it's even necessary, though. As it seems like Austin is now large enough to not be covered by 451.071
"Sec. 451.071. REFERENDUM FOR RAIL PLAN; CERTAIN AUTHORITIES. (a) This section applies only to an authority confirmed before July 1, 1985, in which the principal municipality has a population of less than 850,000."
Unless the fact that the Red Line was initially approved by it means that it's forevermore covered.
