WE'LL
WE'LL HAVE MORE ON THE STATEWIDE VOTE IN A MOMENT -- BUT LETS TURN OUR
ATTENTION NOW - TO THE LOCAL
RACES HERE IN CENTRAL TEXAS.
LETS START WITH THE CITY OF
AUSTIN..
AND A BIG ONE LEADERS HAVE BEEN
TALKING ABOUT-- IS PROP
-A-
THAT HAS TO DO WITH HOW THE CITY
CAN USE LAND FOR A
SPORTS OR ENTERTAINMENT
FACILITY.
KVUE'S KALYN NORWOOD JOINS US
NOW IN STUDIO -- WITH
THE RESULTS..
GOOD MORNING KALYN.
BRYAN -- A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE
PAYING ATTENTION TO THIS ONE..
OPPONENTS TO THE MAJOR LEAGUE
SOCCER STADIUM IN
NORTH AUSTIN BROUGHT IT UP.
THEY SAY -- THE ENTIRE PROCESS
SHOULD'VE
GONE TO VOTERS.
BUT THE BALLOT LANGUAGE WAS
CHANGED SO MUCH -- THE
POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE THAT
CREATED
THE MEASURE ENDED UP BEING
AGAINST IT THEMSELVES..
LETS CHECK OUT THE RESULTS..
63- PERCENT OF VOTERS SEEM TO BE AGAINST PROP -A- AS
WELL.
THAT'S THE FINAL NUMBER -- THAT
MEANS FUTURE PLANS
TO BUILD BIG STADIUMS OR
ENTERTAINMENT VENUES ON
CITY-OWNED LAND WILL NOT HAVE
TO GO TO A VOTE.
AS FOR PROP -B IN AUSTIN.
THAT ONE HAS TO DO WITH EXPANDING THE CONVENTION
CENTER DOWNTOWN...
IT WOULD REDUCE HOW MUCH OF THE
CITY'S HOTEL
OCCUPANCY TAX CAN BE USED TO
SUPPORT THE CENTER -- AND
REQUIRE A PUBLIC VOTE BEFORE ANY
MAJOR
EXPANSIONS THERE.
EXPANSIONS THERE. CITY LEADERS WERE AGAINST IT.. -
VOTERS ARE AGAINST IT, TOO-- WITH -54 PERCENT
OPPOSING IT.
OPPOSING IT. AND GUYS, WE CAN'T GET TO
EVERYTHING THAT WAS VOTED ON LAST NIGHT..
BUT WE'RE GOING TO TRY -- WE'LL
HAVE MORE ON THE
RESULTS A LITTLE LATER ON
DAYBREAK..
DAYBREAK.. BUT IF YOU WANT THE RESULTS
RIGHT NOW -- JUST HEAD OVER TO OUR WEBSITE.. KVUE
DOT COM SLASH VOTE
TEXAS.. AND THE NUMBERS ARE
THERE.
