Proposition Number 4 (HJR 63)
HJR 63 would amend the constitution to authorize the legislature to permit a county to issue bonds or notes to finance the development or redevelopment of an unproductive, underdeveloped, or blighted area within the county, and to pledge increases in ad valorem tax revenues imposed on property in the area by the county for repayment of such bonds or notes. The amendment does not provide independent authority for increasing ad valorem tax rates.

Fort Worth used my tax money to pay Cabela's to build a store in the "blighted" Alliance Airport area.
Fort Worth is not a county... This has no effect on city authority to issue bonds...
