In the City of Beeville election, on the city’s proposal to use a portion of the 4B sales tax for infrastructure, we recommend a vote Against. That money should be used for its intended purpose: economic development.

In the Beeville, Pettus and Skidmore-Tynan ISD elections, we encourage those residents to decide the outcomes of their board of trustees races and whether to increase the tax rate.

If you have not voted early, please make the effort to go and vote Tuesday at the many different polling places around the county.
