Unbelievable how few are voting. In my county it's only a few thousand deciding on half a billion in bonds.

$24 more a year on the average home for the 2 Travis Co props which included ability to levy new taxes. Surprised it passed, but I think the most people voting for the AISD bond probably voted straight "for" and carried it. I was hoping more would differentiate between new taxes and giving the ability to borrow, but that is asking a lit of the average voter. Death by 1000 paper cuts from Travis Co and Central Health for t.u.'s "med school / hospital for the poor".

The AISD won't add to the school tax rate. Amount you pay to AISD may increase with property value since it is percentage based, but that would happen with or w/o the bond package.

You will always be able to count on the people of Travis County to levy a new tax on themselves.
