2 state amendments aim to help taxpayers

Kendall County and Texas residents will have two proposed constitutional amendments to vote on in the May 7 General Election. In both cases, a majority vote is needed for passage.

Early voting begins next Monday, April 25.

Proposition 1 would authorize the state legislature to reduce the property tax limit for school maintenance and operations taxes imposed on the homesteads of elderly or disabled residents to reflect any tax rate reduction enacted by law from the preceding tax year.
