CIVILITY DURING DIFFICULT

DISCUSSIONS ON RACE.

TEXAS VOTERS HAVE VOTED TO

BAN STATE LEADERS FROM IMPOSING

ANY STATE INCOME TAX.

AT LEAST FOR THE NEAR FUTURE.

THAT WAS ONE OF THE BIG OF THE

DECISIONS MADE DURING ELECT DAY

Reporter: VOTERS

OVERWHELMMINGLY PASS PROP 4.

NOW THAT IT'S APPROVED, IT

REQUIRES I 2/3 MAJORITY IN EACH

OF THE TEXAS HOUSE AND TEXAS

SENATE BEFORE LAWMAKERSING CALL

FOR A VOTER REFERENDUM ON A

STATE NEXT TAX.

RIGHT NOW, EACH CHAMBER NEEDS A

SIMPLE MAJORITY.

VOTERS ALSO WHERE WITH PROP 3,

VERY REL RAPT TO NORTH TEXAS --

RELEVANT TO NORTH TEXAS.

IT ALLOWS THE LEGISLATURE TO

PROVIDE A TEMPORARY PROPERTY

TAX EXEMPTION IN AN AREA

DECLARED A DISASTER BY THE

GOVERNOR.

ALSO PASSING, THE

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT THAT

WILL ALLOW POLICE K-9s AND

OTHER ANIMALS TO LIVE WITH

HANDLERS IN RETIREMENT.

UNTIL NOW, MANY LAW ENFORCEMENT

ANIMALS WERE CONSIDERED STATE

PROPERTY.

AFTER RETIREMENT, THEY COULD

ONLY GET AUCTION OR FACE

ANOTHER NEIGHBORRIA.

ONE OF THE 10 AMENDMENTS

FAILED, PROP ONE.

THAT WOULD HAVE ALLOWED ELECTED

MOUND FEEL JUDGES TO SERVE IN

ONE CITY OR TOWN AT THE SAME

TIME.

THAT MEANS OMAGH, POINTED

MUNICIPAL JUDGES CAN CONTINUE
