AUSTIN (CBSDFW.COM) - With about 17% of the votes tallied, Governor Greg Abbott issued a statement on the passage of statewide propositions to lower property taxes, increase transportation funding and guarantee the right to hunt and fish:
"Voters sent a clear message tonight in their support for lowering taxes and building more roads. While the federal government and other states throughout the country continue to raise taxes, increase regulations and amass insurmountable debt, Texas is proving exactly why it is the beacon of freedom throughout the country. By voting to lower property taxes, invest in transportation infrastructure and constitutionally guarantee the right to hunt and fish, Texans are creating an even better place for future generations to live, work and raise a family."
