Former Austin City Council Member Laura Morrison on Prop 1

“A vote AGAINST Prop 1 preserves the recommended safety standard of fingerprint background checks. A multimillion dollar campaign for Prop 1, funded by multibillion dollar corporations, misrepresent the facts in an attempt to manipulate the votes, with claims, for example that the city would take over and pay for the fingerprint background checks. Uber accepts fingerprinting in New York City. For the sake of safety, Austinites deserve the same. Our public safety rules shouldn’t be written by corporations for the sake of their bottom line.”  Former Council Member Morrison
