The Austin City Council on Thursday unanimously approved a $4.2 billion budget that includes about $150 million in planned cuts to Austin police, but only $20 million or so will be immediately removed from the department’s funding.
The final approval of the budget comes after the council heard months of outcry from community members demanding police budget cuts in the wake of protests against police brutality.
