THE VOTES ARE IN

Cass County voters cast their ballots on 17 statewide constitutional amendments last week, and there were a few local races and voter approval measures on the table as well.

All 17 of the Texas Propositions passed. In Avinger, Jeffery Patterson was voted in as Mayor with more than 78 percent of the vote, and Jimmy Linwood was voted in Place 4 for the city with 77 percent of the vote.

Linden-Kildare CISD Place 5 was won by Robbie Johnson in a close race, Cass County ESD 4 Proposition A was voted against and the formation of Linden VFD becoming ESD #5 was voted against.
