Capital Metro fare increases get the greenlight
From Austin Business Journal, August 5, 2008...
A government panel on Monday approved Capital Metro's proposed fare hikes.
The change increases the local bus fare by 25 cents, from 50 cents to 75 cents in fall 2008, and to $1.00 in fall 2010. A state-created oversight body, the Local Governmental Approval Committee, approved the fare increases provided that fares for senior riders and riders with disabilities will remain free.
Capital Metro needs to have one more ratifying vote before the new fare structure goes into effect in October.

Bus fare hike clears first hurdle
From statesman.com, May 20, 2008...
The Capital Metro board gave tentative approval Monday to a two-step fare increase plan that would double the price of bus tickets by 2011.
However, Monday's unanimous vote mostly triggers a public comment period, including a hearing in late June. Three more votes, including one by a specially formed committee of local elected officials, would be required for the fare increases to occur. The current fare is 50 cents.

Water Rates In Leander Could Increase
From statesman.com February 9, 2008...
Water rates in Leander could increase by an average of 21.3 percent over the next three years, according to a proposal made public during a City Council meeting Thursday.
The council initially accepted a plan with slightly different numbers but will vote this summer on the 21.3 percent increase.
Leander residents already pay some of the highest water rates in the area, but city officials said the proposed rate increases are needed to help pay for a $330 million water project that Leander, Cedar Park and Round Rock are banking on to meet their water needs. The project has three phases. Eventually, 141 million gallons of water a day will be pumped from Lake Travis. Pumping is set to start in 2010.
