Four Constitutional Amendments Explained for November Vote
The Brownwood Bulletin outlines four proposed constitutional amendments. They cover taxing county held school lands, abolishing the Board of Prison Commissioners for a single executive, allowing counties to create independent school districts, and permitting National Guard and Reserve members to hold public offices when not on duty. The piece notes most amendments are worthy though not vital and anticipates defeat as in recent years.
