Here are the top three stories today in Cedar Park-Leander:

1. The City of Leander is holding a special City Council meeting today, Jan. 25, to discuss the city's continued Capital Metro participation. The meeting will be a closed session and the Council may take action to order a special election about Capital Metro on May 7. If that happens, voters will be asked to decide whether Leander should reallocate the 1 percent sales tax that goes to Capital Metro for its services. (Community Impact Newspaper)

From our sponsor:

Last week, we told you about our new favorite non-alcoholic go-to — the refreshingly bitter drinks from our partners at Betera. They're chef-created from natural botanicals, lightly effervescent and worthy of life beyond "Dry January." We mentioned that their Ginger-Orange was excellent; we've since tried Elderflower-Lime and loved it as well — light and floral with the perfect amount of zing. We're converts.

Enough of you took Betera up on their 15% discount on first orders for Patch Daily readers that they've extended the offer for another week. Use PATCH15 at checkout. Highly recommended — try Betera here.
