If the Legislature doesn’t act to reimburse Killeen for tax revenue lost to the disabled veterans exemption, what action should the city take?

You voted:

1. Cut programs. The city is losing $5 million annually. City programs should go first.

2. Trim staff. Killeen employs over 1,000 people; some job cuts would be necessary.

3. Raise fees. Small increases across several categories would be the least painful.

1. Yes. Providing modern and efficient facilities for our soldiers should be a top priority.

2. Yes. The border wall is a waste of money; drawing from defense projects is unwise.

3. No. The projects don’t involve barracks or family housing. It’s a fair trade-off.

5. Unsure. It’s hard to say whether the Fort Hood projects or border wall are more vital.

Do you plan to vote in the upcoming Killeen ISD board election?
