Who're These Ruckus-Raisers?

RECEIVED Mon., July 9, 2018

Dear Editor,
    Who are these guys with all this money raising a ruckus about [how] we need to vote on CodeNEXT? ["CodeNEXT Petition Hearing Awaits Ruling," July 2.] Austin is growing fast and has not updated its building codes in decades. How that growth is managed needs to [be] addressed. This is a convoluted issue; that's why we elected representatives to hash out the details. I seriously doubt most Austinites are going to examine the myriad aspects involved and come to a compromise in the voting booth. What agenda are these "we gotta vote" folks pushing? I'm tired of them acting like there is a popular uprising against CodeNEXT.
