Election day November 5, 2019, is just around the corner and for Texans, this may be one of the most important votes we can make.
I am and would recommend that you vote yes on Proposition 4.
Texas Proposition 4, the Prohibit State Income Tax on Individuals Amendment, is on the ballot in Texas as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment on November 5, 2019.
A “yes” vote supports adding an amendment to prohibit the state from levying an income tax on individuals to the Texas Constitution, which requires a two-thirds legislative vote and a statewide referendum to amend.
A “no” vote opposes this amendment, thus continuing to allow the state to enact a tax on individuals in the future through a simple majority legislative vote and a statewide referendum.
Why are we having this vote?
As of 2019, the Texas State Constitution requires the state legislature to put legislation enacting an income tax before voters as a statewide referendum, which voters could approve or reject.
A Yes Vote stops the idea of Texas ever having a personal income tax.
Texas is one of seven states that do not have an income tax and I hope you join with me in voting yes. Yes=No Personal Income Tax.
Let’s keep our advantage over other states!
Enjoying this fall weather.
