Dear Miss Jill
if you can candidly make sense of prop 4, as written on the ballot, please share. I have found that most of the ballot language results in there are no in favor or against elements that actually support the citizens.
It is the most f'd up ballot I have ever seen. There should be a 3rd box, THIS SHOULD NOT BE ON THE BALLOT.
Angelina County Tx property taxes went up 22% in 2021
We missed early voting and will be casting our ballot on Tuesday.
Last week. Processed with a friend 22lbs butter into ghee. Then I cooked 20lbs thighs and legs. Made 20 freezer meals and soups, canned 4 pints of bone broth. I'm having righr knee replacement Nov. 21st and wanted to prepare.
Remember y'all to Pray, Plan, Prep
Thank you for the reminder. I had no idea voting was coming up this year. I haven't gotten any literature on it at all. Now ima have to raise a stink with DPS, looks like they failed to put us on the roster…
We live in a rural area, and if they ever try to make it so my land is no longer eligible to grow food, they will have to find a hiding place before I march up on the doorstep and PROTEST! I will make sure they are not eligible to be voted in again!
We early voted Friday evening.
Local school district wanted millions for sports stadium and swimming pools. Nope!
Have studied up on all 14 propositions and got my cheat sheet ready to go vote. Shared with my adult children because I have no idea if they've taken the time to read them all, lol.
Thank you for your video but over here in ILL they just raise it up. Everything so expensive and know this Too???
I think my YT channel is being hacked, not sure yet, for how long?
Good luck on the vote.
Love my home state (Texas) but live in Missouri. Our property tax is absurd. States need to do away with this kind of tax.
Real estate tax jumped big time here.
Is it perfect timing for ginger root sowing in tub for north Texas ?
ty for the heads up on Prop 1….and 3, and 4
Hi Jill Mike and I are trying to adjust to the time change. Wow getting up now a 5am and the lil dogs are confused. Vote for sure. Mike is going back to work. The school district is looking for a mobile kitchen manager to help at all the schools. 42 schools in are area and he needs to get out of the house. Hehe. The $ will help with taking vacations and the grandkids. We love you all and blessing to you! Rochelle
