“Why isn’t the Austin city council being recalled?”
Every Austin city council seat is voted on At Large and meaning that each resident gets to vote on mayor and every member of the city council.
However, in west and central Austin the turnout for elections is 50% while in conservative neighborhoods the turnout is under 10%.
Thanks for the response. I went to the City’s web page and checked out the biographical information published by the mayor & council. Seemed to be quite a few academics and professional city government types. The city government seems out of step with the rest of Texas. (However, I should talk as I live in California where the entire state is to the left of Austin.)
