Austin budget revisions move ahead with focus on public safety

Austin leaders kicked off their review of a trimmed city budget following the failure of Proposition Q as they move to approve the plan within the next week.

Whats happening: City Council is now working to adopt a revised fiscal year 2025-26 budget with about $100 million in city services and public programs removed. Spending on those items proposed under the Proposition Q tax hike must now be reversed, and officials are considering how those cuts should be made while maintaining some of their top priorities.

Discussion at a Nov. 18 work session largely centered around funding and staffing for public safety departments, including proposals to boost EMS services with several million dollars and suggestions that long-vacant police department positions could be removed. Review will continue Nov. 19 ahead of possible budget approval Nov. 20, or in the following days.

Google commits $40B to 3 data new centers, infrastructure in Texas through 2027

Google is targeting Texas for future investments in data and artificial infrastructure, with $40 billion expected to be spent on adding three new data centers.

Federal, state and local leaders announced the new centers to be constructed in Armstrong and Haskell counties at a Nov. 14 event at the first Texas Google Data Center in Midlothian, near the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

The gist: One new data center will be constructed in Armstrong County near Amarillo, and two new data centers will be constructed in Haskell County near Abilene. One center in Haskell County will also use a new solar and battery energy storage plant.

“They say that everything is bigger in Texas—and that certainly applies to the golden opportunity with AI,” Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said.

Also of note: The driverless car company Waymo is expanding to North Texas in 2026, Pichai said.
