The fight over Project Connect continues, with a group of Austinites filing a class action lawsuit against the city, in hopes of stopping them from collecting t
heir taxes for use on the transit plan ."You can't cheat voters, you can't cheat taxpayers, not in the state of Texas," said Bill Aleshire , one of the attorneys suing the City of Austin.
"The rail system is cut more than in half, no longer connecting to the airport or far north or far south Austin-- and they're also backing off on the promise to use all-electric buses," said Aleshire. McCamley said this class action suit is an attempt to override the voters, who overwhelmingly approved the project.
