A critique of the recently passed $369 million Austin Independent School District bond package highlights the long-term financial burden on taxpayers.

The local Libertarian position against the Austin Independent School District bond proposal emphasizes that property taxes function as a lien against homes, jeopardizing the housing security of families.

They urge voters to reject the proposal to stop the cycle of increasing debt and "financial slavery."
