Some high-dollar homes still benefiting from Austin Energy utility discount

AUSTIN (KXAN) — As Austin Energy customers rack up those high energy costs this hot summer, they’re helping foot the bill for the city’s low-income utility discount. But KXAN discovered that $16 million-fund is also benefiting million-dollar homes.
“That money is going to subsidize people who may not necessarily need that help,” Council Member Ellen Troxclair told KXAN. “It’s still not fixed. And we need to get there as quickly as possible.”
