FULLER RUNS FOR DISTRICT 1
Things to Know on the Ballot
"Preserve Our Historic Charm"
County voters will have
Attorney Alex Fuller is on the ballot
for the vacant District 1 seat on the City Council. Mr. Fuller has lived in Georgetown for 20 years and says he is running for the open position because he has always believed in public service and paying back. He has been on the Planning and Zoning commission for four years and is also Chair of the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Fuller says, "I have always felt if I'm going to enjoy the great aspects of Georgetown I am going to have to volunteer and pay back sometime." He is confident he is well-qualified for the job, having been a practicing lawyer for 42 years. "I have great depth and breadth of experience, having represented large hospitals, corporations and businesses, and I've also been involved in communities with low-income housing and challenges in transportation. I can see
that we are beginning to have some of those same challenges in Georgetown. My training and my work on the city boards means I am ready to work on day one." Fuller hopes voters will see his enthusiasm about Georgetown and District 1, with particular respect to historical preservation. "I am all for development, but I want to make sure we balance it with our historic buildings and facilities. Where I live, there are no homeowner associations, so I want to step up and keep an eye on preserving our beautiful historical areas for many years to come." He also says his experience in mediation will help facilitate good working relationships on Council and help everyone move forward as a team. "I don't just represent District 1, but all of Georgetown. No one is against historic preservation, but I
want to stand up for it publicly." Fuller assures voters that he has no personal agenda and is just excited to help maintain Georgetown as the charming, small-town kind of place that he and his wife were attracted to 20 years ago. "I love all the amenities here as well as the history and I want to help those things mesh; not put one over the other." Fuller promises to be available to anyone who wishes to speak to him, not just district constituents, and, as his signs say, he will "Put Alex Fuller to work for you" throughout his time on Council. He is scheduled to visit several candidate forums in October as well as a variety of voter groups in Georgetown. Events and information are on Facebook at AlexFullerCampaign.

an opportunity this month to vote on two propositions regarding issuing general obligation bonds for roads and parks not to exceed $447 million. Proposition A is for $412 million for roads and Proposition B is for $35 million for parks and recreation. Specific information about the road and parks projects is available on the county website at Wilco. org/BondElection. In Precinct 3 bond improvements will include building a new pavilion and adding restrooms to Berry Springs Park and Preserve. Berry Springs Park and Preserve is utilized for passive recreational uses including camping, hiking and fishing. The park features a 2.5 mile hike/bike trail that will eventually connect to Georgetown Parks and Recreation trails. Berry Springs Park and Preserve was voted "The Best Kept Secret" in the 2010 "The Best of Georgetown" contest. The park was also recognized for its outstanding trails and picnic facilities.
ALERT
It is worth mentioning that Ballot Referendum #4 requires a very close read.
Texas Proposition 4, the Prohibit State Income Tax on Individuals Amendment, is on the ballot in Texas as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment. A "yes" vote supports this amendment to prohibit the state from levying an income tax on individuals. A "no" vote opposes this amendment, thus continuing to allow the state to enact a tax on individuals in the future through a statewide referendum. Simply put, if you do NOT want to pay a state income tax, you need to vote for this proposition. You are not voting for the tax; you are voting to prohibit the state from assessing one. The general election will be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2019, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Early voting starts October 21 and runs through November 1. Early voting and Election Day Vote Center locations are available online at www. wilco.org/elections. All voter registration applications must be postmarked by that date. The Elections Office is located at 301 S.E. Inner Loop, Ste. 104, in Georgetown. Voter registration applications and ballot by mail applications are available in the Elections Office or on-line at Wilco.org/elections. For more information, contact the Elections Office at 512943-1630.
