Today’s top story looks at how Mayor Brandon Johnson is working with local organizations to create tangible change in Austin.
The Austin Weekly News got to sit down with the mayor last week in a small room inside the Austin HOPE Center, where he visited for the first time since it opened. As is typical with press interviews, we only got 10 minutes with him, or time for only four questions. Our new Austin Weekly News reporter, Abisola Dahunsi, joined me for her first interview with the mayor and asked him a question he said no one ever has before: “What structural or budgetary changes can Austin residents expect after projects are taken from an executive level to a permanent fixture in the community?”
Read on to find out how he answered!
