Texas Voters to decide five proposed constitutional amendments
Texas voters will decide on five amendments including a home rule charter for counties with 62000 or more, a $20 million relief bond issue for unemployment, and a $3000 exemption for residential homesteads. The home rule measure, supported by Bexar and eleven counties, would allow merged city and county functions with safeguards. The bond amendment directs revenue sources other than ad valorem taxes to meet bond obligations, enabling federal relief if approved. Each amendment is explained to ensure informed choice on state and federal concerns including prohibition.
