Mark Roberts, executive director of the McCombs Real Estate Center at the University of Texas, joins Rebecca Thomas on FOX 7 Austin to discuss how Gov. Abbott's proposed legislation punishing cities who defund police could affect Project Connect and the property taxes of Austin residents.

This comes ahead of a voter decision in November to raise taxes for public transit.
