Austin Council Opens Spending Portal
from Texas News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Austin’s City Council is launching a transparent public portal for official spending data—coming soon ahead of the new fiscal year—to tackle public concerns over excessive city expenditures. Starting with monthly reports for Mayor and Council members, the rollout will soon include all transactions and year-end summaries, ensuring every dollar spent has a clear public purpose. New rules ban personal expenses like luxury travel or dining unless tied to official duties, and training for staff kicked off in March—with more sessions planned annually starting 2027—to prepare for incoming council members after the 2026 elections.
