And also, just to jump into this real quick before our guest does come in.
Nikki WoodingHOST
um city council has a lot going on if you haven't been following austin city council there are some recent things that has been happening um there so there's the austin audit and they're finding that contractors have been underpaid despite the living wage rule um this audit was assessing um some of the uh again contractors that have been working for the city and of course those contractors do have their subcontractors and things of that nature their employees that they have, and the city has imposed a living wage rule that, you know, as they are hiring their contractors, they have to sign to ensure that all of their workers are being paid at that living wage.
Nikki WoodingHOST
Well, to find out that there was about 5% of those that were below.
Nikki WoodingHOST
And, you know, I'm not saying that that's not good, of course.

How are you? You look resplendent in your longhorn shirt and the beautiful Save Muni hat.
Ed ClementsHOST
I was at Maudie's Tex-Mex, saw Randy Shade, the former Austin City Councilwoman.
Ed ClementsHOST
She said congratulations, congratulations on Muni and wanted to grow me on what's going on.
Ed ClementsHOST
And I know she helped us out when she was on council a long time ago.
Nikki WoodingHOST

Nikki WoodingHOST
small business owner, UT graduate, and before getting involved in City Hall, she was moving a whole lot faster than the rest of us as a professional sprinter competing for Nike and USA Track and Field.
Robert WalshHOST
That's what it says.
Robert WalshHOST
Of the world? The Austin City Council.
Buck ReisingHOST
Now, Austin
Robert WalshHOST
City
Savannah HernandezGUEST
It's a combination of, again, these bad progressive policies.
Savannah HernandezGUEST
It's a combination of a lot of Democratic socialists that had made their way onto the Austin City Council.
Savannah HernandezGUEST
I think that, again, people think that Texas is some red stronghold and that everything's fine and dandy.
Savannah HernandezGUEST
And then come our midterms, it's like, oh, wait, what do you mean James Tallarico is actually wildly popular? What do you mean the demographics of the state have changed so drastically that the average picture of UT looks like Mumbai? What's going on over here? And then you have the average voter that's like, why am I going to go vote for a Republican when this is what the state of Texas looks like? And it's like, yeah, That's a good question.
MarkHOST
Austin Justice.
MarkHOST
is always doing a great job on their ex-account reporting on what the Austin City Council is doing.
MarkHOST
They can't keep up with everything.
MarkHOST
That's why we need to vote yes on Prop I next Tuesday in the election for that full independent audit.
GaryAUDIENCE
Somebody needs to look into that because that's not insignificant.
GaryAUDIENCE
And yeah, I couldn't believe it when I heard it almost.
MarkHOST
Yeah, normally the Austin City Council would reject the idea of giving any money to any type of religious organization.
GaryAUDIENCE
Yeah, well, that needs to be delved into further because I am familiar with it.
Gina HinojosaGUEST
In what way did I support it? Did I have a press conference? I didn't vote on it, that's for sure.
Gina HinojosaGUEST
I'm not an Austin City Council member.
Gina HinojosaGUEST
So it is not right to paint me with supporting something like that.
Gina HinojosaGUEST
No, that is
MelindaHOST
She said normal hours generally are 10 to 6 p.m., 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
MarkHOST
And once again, you will not hear anyone from the Austin City Council speak out and address this and bring some action to get relief for these small business owners who are paying taxes, trying to run a business and employ people and serve the citizens of Austin.
MarkHOST
You won't hear a single city council member speak up or take action here.
MelindaHOST
Which is absolutely shameful, as these businesses are trying to determine whether or not they should just hire their own security.
Gina HinojosaGUEST
That's for sure.
Gina HinojosaGUEST
I'm not an Austin City Council member.
Gina HinojosaGUEST
So it is not right to paint me with supporting something like that.
Gina HinojosaGUEST
No, that
