City Cast Austin Illegal Parking at TxDOT, Austin's $33M Budget Deficit, and DOGE in Texas
The Texas Legislature is still in session under the pink dome down on Congress Avenue — but they won’t be for too much longer. Now is the time in the session when things get weird and hard to follow, so host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by newsletter editor Kelsey Bradshaw and executive producer Eva Ruth Moravec to break down where things stand on vouchers, the THC ban, and DOGE, on this week’s Friday News Roundup. Plus, we discuss the Texas Department of Transportation’s parking problems as employees return to the office, the City of Austin’s $7.5 million in unpaid parking tickets, and whether that money could help shore up the city’s estimated $33 million budget deficit for next year.
