Those are urban state highways.
I agree that those particular roads should be repaired. However, Prop 1 is all or nothing. Highway construction is rife with fraud top to bottom and I don’t trust Texas politicians any more than those in DC so will still urge everyone I know to vote NO on Prop 1.
Last call for reasons to vote for or against this because I’m going to early vote tomorrow. Both sides make good arguments so still undecided. Please & thank you!
The 2014 Texas GOP Platform calls for the Rainy Day Fund to only “cover revenue shortfalls in the current biennium, debt retirement, one-time infrastructure projects, and expenses related to a state of disaster as declared by the
governor.”
Prop 1 is only designed to cover desired spending shortfalls. Force Republican legislators to follow our platform!

This is very well written.
I voted NO
OK the nays won.
FYI, you can vote straight ticket R & still vote for or against Prop 1. (My mom had trouble with this.) Just hit the next button to page through all the pages & it’s the very last thing on the last page (before the summary pages).
