Some voters will see issues on their ballot in the upcoming April 2 election. Raymondville, Licking and the Houston School District have measures on the ballot.
Here’s a look:
Raymondville residents will decide a 1 percent sales tax and whether to forgo an annual village election in 2025 if the number of candidates filing is equal to the number of positions to be filled.
At Licking, voters will decide a proposed 3 percent sales tax on all retail sales of adult use marijuana.
Patrons of the Houston School District will vote on a $3 million bond issue to construct a new track, furnish an outdoor facility, install a turf field, pre-pay principal on existing lease financings and complete other repairs and improvements on campus. If authorized, the levy would be unchanged — the current 80 cents for each $100 assessed valuation. A four-sevenths majority (57.14 percent) is required for passage.
The exact ballot language for issues appears on the sample ballot included with the March 21 and 28 issues of the newspaper.
Election results will appear Tuesday evening, April 2, at houstonherald.com
