Propositions 1-16

There are sixteen propositions awaiting your approval or disapproval this November. How will you decide?

Proposition 1 continues appropriation for facilities at Angelo State University. The definition for appropriation is as follows: money set aside by formal action for a specific use. So basically the entire state of Texas will be deciding whether or not a college most of us have never heard of gets continued funding for unlisted facilities. Why? This sort of thing just further adds to our already 200 page constitution, making it lengthier and less recognized as the basic law of the land!

Proposition 2 issues $500 million in general obligation bonds to finance student loans. This one atleast represents the entire sate of Texas.

These two propositons are prime examples of what should and shouldn't be written into our constitution. Our constitution is already so elaborate in detail why continue? I think Prof. Seago said it best when described as "Crazy quilt additions". I mean what are they trying to do here? Make it so confusing and twisted that no one will understand, or care to vote on it, then they can write whatever they want into it? I hope they aren't that smart.

Only about half of these propositons should actually be voted on. The rest make no sense, and/or should have some other committtee voting on them. Definately not the entire state of Texas.

Please read all propositions for yourself! Try and make sense of it all so that on November 6, 2007 when you go to the poll you know what your actually voting on. By knowing the right information you can make the right decision for yourself and the rest of the state of Texas.
