Should Austin Spend Money to Save Money?

Should Austin Spend Money to Save Money?

Austin City Council is considering spending money to hire an outside auditor — even though it has an audit office — to identify ways the city could save money. But what are their motivations? Is it to actually prove to the public that they are more fiscally responsible, and regain lost trust? Or, is it to take action before an outside group can gather signatures and force a vote on whether to include a regular audit in the city charter? Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by Amy Stansbury, editor-in-chief of The Austin Common, to get the details. Want some more Austin news? Then make sure to sign up for our City Cast Austin newsletter..
