We break down a few of them and explain why they're so important.

SAN ANTONIO — Election Day is just four days away. There are no City Council Races up for vote this time around but many amendments will be on the ballot. How many amendments? Fourteen. Some will create or alter funds to support higher education research, and broadband and water infrastructure.

If you vote"for" this one the package would allow school districts to lower their property tax rates. It would also raise homestead exemption, or how much of a home's value that can't be taxed to pay for public schools from from $40,000 to $100,000. The only hiccup, it'll cost taxpayers $5.6 billion. If you vote"no" nothing will change.

If you vote for this amendment it would create a state fund allowing officials to distribute loans and grants to companies aiming to build new natural gas-fueled power plants. On the flip side, gas-fueled power plants are not always reliable and emit greenhouse gasses, which are helping to drive climate change.
