County propositions.

DFW Progressives’ recommendation and short rationale for each listed measure.

Vote yes.

About $6.2M more a year for schools.

Vote yes, and stay engaged.

Device refresh for students and staff. Watch the repayment term.

C

Keller ISD

Props C and D: $8.9M natatorium, $11.0M athletic repairs

Not perfect, but the need is serious enough to justify a yes.

Repairs to athletic facilities that serve some students, not all.

No

Keller ISD

Prop E: $23.9M artificial turf

Vote no.

Lowest priority in an $828M ask. Turf wears out in about 8 to 12 years and raises heat and chemical concerns.

No

Parker and Tarrant Counties MUD No. 1

Prop C: $911.9M roads

Vote no.

The English notice says $911.9M and the Spanish notice says $750M. Spanish-speaking voters got a different number for nearly $1B in debt.

No

All other props

Developer-created district debt that future homeowners repay. See the full guide’s utility-district-bonds explanation.

No

City of Dallas

Prop A: $443M public safety bonds

Vote no.

Most of it, about $381M, builds evidence storage, a crime lab and training facilities, mainly for police. The language is broad enough that critics call it a blank check.

A

City of Garland

Prop A: $0.6799 tax rate

Vote yes.

Core city services and public worker pay: police, fire, 911 and parks staffing and roads. The rate is still below last year’s.

No

City of Plano

Prop A: Stars arena and venue taxes

Vote no.

Up to $700M in public taxes for a private team’s arena, with no financing plan, site plan or traffic study yet.

A

City of Wylie

Props A, B, D, E: streets, parks, public works, animal shelter

Vote yes.

Basic city infrastructure with named projects.

B

City of Wylie

Prop C: $25M public safety facilities

Vote yes, and stay engaged.

Real need, but the ballot names no specific facility.

B

Town of Flower Mound

Prop A: renew 0.25% street sales tax

Vote yes, and stay engaged.

Keeps an existing rate for street repair. Sales tax hits working families hardest, so every dollar should be accounted for.
