Harris County Hospital District, Proposition A.
Should the county use $2.5B to rebuild the Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital?
Harris County's Proposition A is a $2.5 billion bond proposal to build a new Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital and make other upgrades throughout the county's public health care system.
City of Houston, Proposition A.
Should 3 City Council members be able to place an item on the agenda?
Proposition A would allow any three council members to place an item on the council's weekly agenda, a power currently reserved for the mayor. Its supporters say it would empower council members to pursue policy items not supported by the mayor. Mayor Sylvester Turner has argued it would force votes on unvetted proposals, disrupting the city's regular order of business.
City of Houston, Proposition B.
Should Houston have more proportional representation on regional councils?
Proposition B would force Houston to pull out of regional groups that do not apportion votes according to population. It targets the Houston-Galveston Area Council, a 37-member body that distributes federal and state funding. City officials of late have expressed frustration with H-GAC; the city gets just two votes on the body, despite making up 30% of its population. H-GAC has skirted Houston with some key funding decisions in recent years, including mitigation money granted by the federal government after Hurricane Harvey. There does not appear to be organized opposition to the referendum, though Mayor Sylvester Turner and other city officials have suggested withdrawing from H-GAC would require other steps.
