Travis County voters passed Central Health Proposition 1 this week, which increases property taxes to help bring a medical school to Austin.
But a group of citizens is trying to stop the vote from being certified or canvassed.
A lawsuit filed by the Travis County Taxpayers Union (TCTU) says the ballot language of Prop 1 was misleading and made promises that the health care district is not legally able to fulfill.
“We want a federal judge to agree with us that the misleading and illegal ballot language contributed to the victory of Prop 1 at the polls. So the point being, if they had told the truth, we thing the voting outcome would have been different,” Don Zimmerman, TCTU Treasurer, says.
