Austin City Council in February passed a resolution directing city staff to study the effects of a border wall on Austin, economic and otherwise. With that came an edict to "develop a policy requiring every entity that seeks to do business with the City to disclose, for itself and any parent company or subsidiary, any bid submitted, or contract awarded, related to the design, construction, or financing of the proposed border wall." That's not such an easy task, city staff said after looking into it, and they're worried such a disclosure policy will do more harm than good.
