Austin: Thoughts on the Charter Amendments?

[NoPasaran]

I know that the City is hostile to the idea of Prop One, but the ballot language seems to stop just short of mandating eating puppies:

Proposition 1 Ballot Language
Shall the City Charter be amended: (a) to provide online access to public information, which for the most part is already available, by creating an online electronic data system for most City communications and documents at taxpayer expense; (b) to require that private citizens’ emails to public officials be placed on the city website in “real time,” including emails or electronic communications between private citizens and public officials in all City departments, and limit the ability of citizens to keep private the details of these communications, unless legal exceptions apply; (c) to require that the heads of all City departments, all city manager’s staff and all City council members and their staff post online in real time information about meetings and phone calls with private citizens; and (d) to prohibit the City from exercising state law protection for information that could expose the City and taxpayers to greater financial and legal liability and risk?
