Taxes – Schools – Water – Electricity – Broadband – and more …
It’s that time again when we get to grade the legislature on the work it has done and the laws it has proposed.
The election to be held on November 7th allows us to determine how the Texas Constitution is shaped going forward.
There are fourteen propositions on the ballot covering a wide range of issues that affect your pocketbook, retirement age for justices, sales tax, property tax, access to broadband, protecting and expanding water supplies, and more.
We are providing you with links to the propositions (at the Texas Secretary of States website), and to several analyses of these propositions with some commentary. See: Recommendations
We encourage you to consider how you will vote this year.
We defend our democracy through participation. Early voting starts on Monday, October 23rd, and election day is Tuesday, November 7th.
