Baytown Freeway Bond Election Rules Clarified
Baytown voters in nine precincts will receive instructions allowing auto owners who paid poll tax to vote in the 15 million freeway right of way bond election on Saturday. County Judge Gob Casey announced the ruling based on a county attorney’s opinion that property ownership qualifies a voter for bond elections, with community property law permitting spouses to vote if they have a current poll tax. Casey noted some judges in July refused to allow car owners to vote.

Bond vote failure cited in disputed election outcome
Judge Casey noted that some auto owners were barred from voting on the $15. million bond issue, leading to a defeat by a narrow margin. County Attorney Klaimin argued taxable property ownership determined voting eligibility and tax roll status, affecting the bond’s required two thirds majority.
