Making Your
Election Choices.
It is hard to make heads
or tails of the upcoming
November 4, 2014 election. In my more than 40
years of covering elections,
this one is the most difficult.
One reason is that for the first
time we have combined
State, County, School
District, Austin Community
College and proposition all
together in one election.
While there is much
concern over the new Austin
City Council election by
geographical districts, we
also have to elect candidates
for Austin Community
College, and the Austin
Independent School district.
Other cities in our county are
having the same problem.
So I am going to back into
this election by starting with
the propositions.
Prop. 1 - calls for the
issuance of $600 million in
bonds and notes by the City
of Austin for the rail system. It
would be operated by Capital
Metro. It is designed to relieve
congestion, enhance mobility
and manage traffic in the I-35,
US 183, SH 71, RM 620,
RM 1826, RM 2222 FM 734
(Parmer), Lamar Blvd., and
Loop 360 corridor; and the
levy of a tax sufficient to pay
for the bonds and notes.
The proponents of the
system says that it is the only
way to relieve much of the
traffic from our more used
roadways. And they
guarantee that the bonds will
not be issued unless they can
get the matching funds
needed to complete the
project from the Federal
government.
Opponents to the play
says that it is more of the
same - another rail system
that completely goes
around the eastern part of
the city just as other
proposed plans have done.
It is confusing and hard to
understand how we keep
getting plans that move
traffic North and South, but
none for East and West
traffic. However, since our
traffic problems are not
getting any better and it
does not appear that it will
in the near future, we must
do something to begin
working on the problem.
We recommend that
we VOTE FOR PROP. 1.

The Breast Cancer
Awareness Campaign
takes place every October,
with efforts throughout
the year to help combat
what is still the most common form of cancer. In late
September 2001, Governor
Rick Perry declared October as Breast Cancer
Awareness Month in the
state of Texas. To continue
the campaign to raise
awareness, get funding
for further research and
other initiatives, Austin is
hosting several 2014
events toward this end.
Some of them are detailed
below:
