Seems pretty straightforward, but thanks for the heads-up. ⚠️

If I understand these:

Amend. 1 is for transferring wealth from old folks to younger homeowners - raise the general exemption, but reduce the old folks exemption.

Amendment 2 is a special retroactive provision to provide a benefit to a very small number of folks whose spouses died before the effective date of a prior amendment. Negligible financial impact.

Amendment 3 appears to be straightforward

Amendment 4 is a foot in the door to permit gambling at professional sporting events. Because, let’s face it - Jerry Jones needs the money.

Amendment 5 lets rich folks in rural counties use taxpayer money to maintain their internal ranch roads and driveways. Because they are entitled.

Amendment 6 was basically meaningless pandering to the sportsmen and women. Doesn’t really do anything.

Amendment 7, on the other hand, puts highway money back toward the highways instead of unrelated pet projects of corrupt politicians. But the trick language shows that it really to make sure sure that the bankers get their interest paid, after the voters were stupid enough to approve highway debt a few years ago.

Anything I missed?

H-town Freepers, who’re we voting for for mayor? I think I have voted for Adrian Garcia in the past. Just got a flyer in the mail from Bill King & it looks like he’s got a few good endorsements. Costello voted for the HERO (bathroom) ordinance so he won’t get my vote. Chris Bell no way. Oliver Pennington is my city councilman & he voted my way on HERO so I’m inclined to reward him for that, but he does have a challenger who seems to be saying the right things.
