Our promise meter for Austin Mayor Steve Adler launched by rating each promise we're tracking as "not yet rated." Enjoy!
Today with the guidance of Austin American-Statesman City Hall reporters Lilly Rockwell and Andra Lim, we've launched the Adler-O-Meter to track progress on Austin Mayor Steve Adler's campaign promises -- including his calls for a 20-percent homestead exemption and free bus fares for elderly residents.
For starters, none of his promises have a rating. Remember, he's got a four-year term.
Scroll the key promises we compiled on the Adler-O-Meter here.
Did we miss any big ones?
