Your underwriting support of the nonpartisan mission of the Capital of Texas Media Foundation and the nonpartisan journalism of the Austin Monitor helps us get more folks better informed about the city where they live. Beyond that, our readers are deeply involved members of the Austin community. Show them how much you care about the place where you do business. Michael Kanin, Publisher Austin Monitor
