Viridian bond election
Residents of the Viridian Municipal Management District will have two extra propositions on the Nov. 4 ballot.
The first proposition on the ballot is to authorize the issuance of over $50 million in bonds for water, sanitary sewer and drainage, and storm sewer systems in Viridian.
The second is to authorize the issuance of over $57 million in bonds for roads in Viridian.
Recently, the district raised its property tax rate from 44.81 cents to 51.52 cents per $100 valuation.
During a Sept. 9 meeting, Viridian board member Denise Clifton said raising the tax rate would help fund needed renovations to maintain residents’ high standards.
“Things are getting older, and things are going to start breaking and cracking,” Clifton said. “We certainly need the finances and wherewithal to pay for those.”
Viridian residents will also consider a tax rate increase of 3 cents from the Hurst-Euless-Bedford school district.
State propositions and Senate District 9
All ballots will feature 17 state constitutional amendments, ranging from homestead tax exemptions to funding for dementia research. For a more detailed look at each amendment, click here.
Some Arlington residents will be able to vote in the Texas Senate District 9 election after Kelly Hancock left the seat to work as the acting state comptroller.
Republicans John Huffman and Leigh Wambsganss and Democrat Taylor Rehmet are vying for the seat. A candidate must secure more than 50% of the vote to win the seat outright; otherwise, the top two vote-getters head to a Dec. 13 runoff election.
