At Tuesday morning's Round Rock City Council meeting, the council unanimously approved a resolution to oppose several bills in the special session targeting local control. Bills the council specifically named include ones that address property tax, spending caps, tree protection, annexation and the bathroom bill. The resolution initially included language that would allow the city to oppose a texting-while-driving ban, but elected to remove that provision as the statewide ban will go into place Sept. 1 and any legislation during this special session wouldn't have the ability to change that. The resolution authorizes Mayor Craig Morgan, any council members, the city manager, city attorney, staff members and legislative representatives to testify in opposition to legislation that the city says "erode[s] the City’s power to self-govern, or in any way be of detriment to the City’s authority to exercise the powers prescribed by the citizens of the City in their elected officials and oppose the imposition of any state mandates that do not provide for a commensurate level of state funding." The full resolution can be viewed here. The city of Round Rock announced it is working with a number of cities along the I-35 corridor to oppose these bills targeting local control.
