No Lines For Start of Early Vote… Except Maybe in Leander
Early voting for the November 6 election started today, but don’t expect long lines. Unless you live in Leander.
Voters statewide will decide 16 amendments to the Rube Goldberg-like State Constitution, including a $3 billion cancer fund promoted by Lance Armstrong (Prop 15), who dumped girlfriend Sheryl Crow after she developed breast cancer, and $5 billion in new bonds for the Department of Transportation, which can be trusted to use the money for new pork projects and, if we’re lucky, a highway or two.
But in Leander, voters are being asked to approve $560 million for eight new schools, land acquisition for nine more, repairs and renovations to existing facilities, and of course… a new stadium. What makes the Leander bond issue unique is that it’s the biggest ever in Central Texas. In Dripping Springs, voters are looking at a much smaller $94 million school bond package. And in Wimberley, where no one is under retirement age anyway, voters are being asked to approve a mere $34 million for their schools.
Early voting ends November 2.

you mean Sheryl Crow? I think Sheryl Cole is happily married.

Yes. Thanks for spotting that. It has been corrected.
