Don’t forget that there is more to vote for this year than a president! Politics aside, Texans over 65 years of age could use your support.

In the May election, there will be an amendment for your ballot to correct an error made previously in 2005 when property taxes were reduced by 1/3 for the 2006 and 2007 tax years (don’t forget, property values went up city-wide, so net taxes often went up). Don’t blame this on the elderly, who are the victims of the error attached to this bill.

The State caps property taxes for those who are age 65 or older, or who are disabled. They did not receive the same reduction that the rest of us received when the tax cut for schools passed in 2005.

Early voting will take place April 30 - May 5 from 7 am to 7 pm;
May 6 from noon to 6 pm and May 7 - May 8 from 7 am to 7 pm.
