Early voting starts Monday, and Austin voters have some big decisions ahead, including 17 Texas Constitutional amendments and a tax rate election. If that sounds like a total snooze, we get it – but don't sleep on it! On this week's Friday News Round Up, host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by executive producer Eva Ruth Moravec and producer Elissa Castles to break down what’s on this year's ballot. Plus, the team chats about the plan to remove painted crosswalks in town to comply with a state order and avoid losing state and federal funding, and our weekend picks.
