A lawsuit supported by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton argues that the Austin Transit Partnership can't use property taxes to fund the altered design of Project Connect.
Travis County Commissioner Margaret Gómez, former state Sen. Gonzalo Barrientos, and others claimed that the voters didn't approve the revised design, making its funding illegal.
Mayor Kirk Watson criticized Paxton's actions, stating that they are merely delaying tactics and expressed confidence that facts and law favor their case.
As the legal battles continue, the future of Project Connect hangs in balance, with potential implications for public transit funding in Austin.
