I live and will vote here but the commercials are crazy crazy. The commercials are crazy crazy. I live north of Houston.
I’ll be honest, Is Prop 1 for guys using a bathroom with females or is it for the homestead tax help or what, I’m not sure if it’s 2 separate Props or what???
One is a municipal proposition for perversity and the other is a state proposition upping the homestead exemption amount for tax purposes.
Houston has a set of ordinances only Houston citizens vote for. Every city does this. There are also some State-wide amendments which everyone who is registered votes for. I believe there are seven of them and, yes, the first one increases the Homestead exemption. What they don’t tell you though is that they will make up the decrease in school revenue if it passes from the general revenue fund instead of making the school system decrease their expenses - like all of the money they waste on non-teaching staff and travel, increasing ESL class costs and such things as a new school in Houston to include Arabic instruction.
It is a bit confusing. My son lives about five miles from me but he is in the City of a smaller suburban area, I am in the County. A lot of his ballot is different from mine but we do share the state-wide amendments.
They're trying to muddy the water with the commercials. There is even one claiming that veterans are being turned down for jobs unless prop 1 is passed.

Different props. Statewide Proposition 1 is the tax relief stuff, Houston City Prop 1 is the bathroom/”sex rights” ordinance.
There is a State Prop 1, and a City Prop 1.
