Across the state, there are 246 different bond propositions on voters' ballots requesting the ability to issue debt for capital projects.
An implied promise of salary hikes if the bond passes might count as encouragement to vote for the bond, which could violate state law.
The same motives that shaped bond and school board results in November seem to remain a factor in the May election results.
Voters across Texas will see a variety of local government bond proposals before them on their May 7 ballots.
The proposal is split into three separate propositions, and if each is approved the property tax rate will increase by $0.05.
