Iconic Austin wedding venue @MercuryHall is closing, due to skyrocketing property taxes, which the owners say have tripled in the last five years. #ATX #txlege #PropertyTax @austintexasgov https://twitter.com/AustinChronicle/status/1197923133052870656

This is not sustainable. Our city is disappearing right before our eyes. Businesses, as well as residents, are affected by property tax hikes. #ATX #propertytax #txlege

“As they continually raise taxes, city of Austin officials say they’re doing so to help preserve Austin’s unique culture." @sfsterling18 @JamesQuinteroTX @austintexasgov #txlege #ATX #propertytaxes https://www.texaspolicy.com/taxing-texans-right-out-of-their-comfort-food/?utm_campaign=The%20Daily%20Cannon&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=79935877&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_klrFS_FdCS_qnbQTAEL1HxFTIkee47Iy4Y2EtAkGGZSeDbEHN-eQL1yVUzLYACJo9NsKlXtJ08jcq18yLhLKKoF0DkA

"But in reality, cultural landmarks like Mercury Hall are driven out by their tax bills. The Legislature has granted us a measure of tax relief, but we must still remain diligent to ensure that Texas stays Texas, even in Austin.”
