VOTE411 Voter Guide

PROPOSITION ATHIS IS A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE"The issuance of not to exceed $41,300,000 of Comfort Independent School District school building bonds for the purposes of designing, constructing, renovating, improving, upgrading, updating, acquiring, and equipping school facilities, including a new career and technical education (CTE) facility and District-wide renovations, additions, and safety and security improvements, and improvements to the baseball and softball fields and Algelt field, the purchase of the necessary sites for school facilities, and the retrofitting of school buses with emergency, safety, and security equipment, and the levying of a tax sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the bonds."Voters can mark the ballot FOR or AGAINST on the propositions. Orange voter registration card details the elections for the voter residence address.NOTE: The legislature passed a new law requiring school districts to include the language “THIS IS A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE”, even when the district is not expecting a rate increase. This is because the issuance of new bonds increases the term of debt repayments at the current rate. Even when bonds do not impact the tax rate, they elongate the repayment term at the current rate. *Combined, Proposition A and Proposition B would result in a $0.02 (two cents) tax increase.
