propositions

FOURTEEN PROPOSITIONS are on the November 7 ballot to amend the Texas Constitution.  I have read the Voter Guide of the League of Women Voters of Texas (https://www.lwvtexas.org/) setting forth arguments for and against each amendment.  I will vote all but Proposition 4 that would allow the legislature to increase the homestead exemption from $40,000 to $100,000 for school district taxation.  In future years, this could significantly decrease the revenue of most small school districts.

AUSTIN —Last week, the Deputy Secretary of State Joe Esparza drew the ballot order for the 14 proposed amendments to the Texas Constitution.

Texans will vote on these amendments as a part of the November 7 Election. Below is the ballot order as drawn.

Proposition 1 – HJR 126 "The constitutional amendment protecting the right to engage in farming, ranching, timber production, horticulture, and wildlife management."
