Austin Mayor says no bond election on rail this year

After lengthy consideration, Mayor Lee Leffingwell has decided that the City of Austin will not be ready to proceed with an urban rail election in November.

However, it is likely that voters will be asked to make decisions on other transportation related bonds.
