KXAN this week unveiled a new interactive tool to chart where the money comes from in local elections. To no one's surprise, a good share of East Austin candidate money comes from our more affluent West Austinites.

While this report focused on the 10 districts in Austin (10-1 is still a good idea) our neighbors in Pflugerville are facing an influx of outside cash of their own.

According to the Tracker's quick analysis of the campaign finance filing for the S-PAC "Pflugerville Pfriends for  ACC" shows that the majority of the contributors are not from Pflugerville. The money comes from San Antonio, San Marcos, and (of course) Austin.

By contrast, the opposition to the annexation, Pflugerville Residents for Responsible Taxation, are clearly a homegrown operation according to our search, scratching together enough for an impressive media campaign (even a billboard on a busy highway) and sending volunteers to poll sites on a regular basis.

The Tracker has recommended Pflugerville residents vote against the annexation of the city into the Austin Community College District for some compelling reasons.

Early voting continues through Nov. 2 with election day on Nov. 6. Where do you stand on ACC's expansion plans into Pflugerville? Let us know in the comments, pro or con.
