Texans love sports, but ever since bond votes had to be itemized voters have passed education projects and rejected sports plans.
Voters rejected a $100 million bond to build a new football stadium in Anna for the second time.While interest at the polls was modest, the ISD bond questions had big financial implications."I think it's interesting to note that even among this very, hyper-motivated, tiny little pool of people who vote in these elections, some of these projects are losing," said SMU economist Mike Davis.
"Some of these growing school districts, a lot of them, in fact, need money to build new schools. I just think that people are being very careful about saying, yeah, we want the new schools, and we might even want new parks and playgrounds, but we don't really have the cash to spend on these fairly elaborate sports facilities," explained Davis.PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Texas voters rejected several athletic bond measuresArgyle ISD voters rejected a $22 million baseball complex.
