My Recommendations for Texas Amendments

Proposition 1: Vote yes. This allows the use of leftover funds for
veterans in nursing homes.

Proposition 2: Vote yes. Allows you two years to buy back your land if
it was taken away to pay property taxes.

Proposition 3: Vote no. Allows churches to not pay taxes on investment
property or unused property.

Proposition 4: Vote yes. To help pay for more parks.

Proposition 5: Vote no. To help schools by making trailers pay school
property taxes.

Proposition 6: Vote yes to allow seniors to convert a home equity loan
to a reverse mortgage loan.

Proposition 7: Vote yes to reduce the size of the jury to six people
for misdemeanor crimes in rural districts. This is done in urban
areas.

Proposition 8: Vote no so that if only one candidate is on the ballot,
you can still write someone in.

Proposition 9: Vote no to prevent political appointees from spending
the principal on the Permanent School Fund. This is a ploy to undo Texas
tradition to help balance the budget. They can't manage money, prevent
them from touching the principal.

Proposition 10: Vote yes to allow cities to donate used fire fighting
equipment to volunteer fire dept.s in small towns.

Proposition 11: Vote yes to allow Texans to build wine making
facilities where people can visit, taste, & buy wine.

Proposition 12: Vote no to prevent preset dollar amounts for lawsuits
claiming non-economic damages. Vote no to protect patient rights. Vote
no if you think life, pain, suffering, disfigurement or the loss of
organs may be worth more than $250,000.

Proposition 13: Vote yes to freeze county, city, or college districts
taxes for disabled and elderly citizens.

Proposition 14: Vote no to stop the Texas Dept. of Transportation from
borrowing money to pay for projects.

Proposition 15: Vote yes to maintain the pensions and healthcare of
retiring city or state employees (police, teachers, firemen, etc.)

Proposition 16: Vote no to prevent banks from targeting homeowners
with risky credit cards based on home equity.

Proposition 17: Vote yes to freeze the property taxes of disabled
citizens.

Proposition 18: Vote no to prevent the legislature from automatically
declaring one candidate the winner if only one person "qualifies" to
be a candidate. This one is similar to Proposition 8.

Proposition 19: Vote no. This says in the future the legislature can't
create Rural Fire Prevention Districts (RFPD's) which have fewer
resources than Emergency Service Districts (ESD's). This is a crazy
amendment, we now have no RFPD's but this prevents some from being
created in the future. Vote no to remind the legislature we need a new
constitution so we don't have to vote for this minutia.

Proposition 20: Vote no. This is special interest loan money to
communities with military bases so they can attempt to bribe bases to
stay with civic improvements paid for by state loans. If the bases
close anyway they will have difficulty paying the money back.

Proposition 21: Vote yes to allow university professors to also be
paid to serve on the governing bodies of water districts. If you think
they should only draw one state salary vote no.

Proposition 22: Vote no. This would allow the appointment of temporary
replacements for any elected official who is called into military
service with no limitation on length of time. This is the third
anti-voter amendment the GOP is serving up.

Your opinion may vary.

Paperwork may be taken into the voting booth.

I am working this election and I can't give you opinions then..
