NOTES FROM THE
PRESIDENT
Be informed and vote! Between now and COVNA’s November meeting there will be an election. As of now there are 16 Texas constitutional amendments to be considered. Some of these proposals directly affect home owners. Others propose to limit or expand cities’ authority over private property. Sometimes the language of the proposal is confusing and does not clearly state the intent. So, we must do our homework on the substance and how we wish to cast our vote. You can check out the League of Women Voters analysis of the issues. You can access www.lwvaustin.org/votersguide on the internet or can get a copy of their printed flyer at most libraries. Early voting will be from October 22nd through November 2nd. Election Day will be November 6th. “The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country.” - Franklin D. Roosevelt Floyd |

HOW AUSTIN RATES Austin, population 690,300 and 15th largest city in the US, was voted 2nd best big city by Money Magazine. Austin may be the “Music Capital” (though, from personal experience, it’s hard to make a living playing music - ed.) and have many great qualities but it does not compare well to the other highly rated cities in the areas of K-12 education or crime. Here are some comparisons between Austin and the average of the top 10 best big cities. The other cities are: 1. Colorado Springs, CO, 3. Mesa, AZ, 4. Raleigh, NC, 5. San Diego, CA, 6. Virginia Beach, VA, 7. Omaha, NE, 8. Columbus, OH, 9. Wichita, KS, and 10. New York City, NY.
