"Chamber Takes a Swing Against Proposition 2"; September 12, 2008
For more than a year, Stop Domain Subsidies has focused on one campaign issue: that local businesses suffer when the city pays developers tax dollars to build more stores, such as the high-end shops in the Domain retail center in North Austin. But with the SDS charter amendment - which would ban financial incentives for retail development - on the November ballot, opponents of Proposition 2 are starting to speak out about their own concerns. Should the amendment pass, they claim, it would force the city to renege on a deal, endanger the city's bond rating, and possibly increase taxes. Plus, they argue, it's not just the Domain agreement at stake but another high-profile development: Mueller, the redevelopment site of the city's old airport ...
