Georgetown ISD calls for property tax rate increase of $0.06 up to $1.1106

Georgetown ISD calls for property tax rate increase of $0.06 up to $1.1106

Hi all! My name is Hamera and I cover Georgeotwn ISD for Community Impact.

I just wanted to share something that I've spent the summer following: on Monday, GISD officials called for a voter-approval tax rate election that proposes to increase the district’s tax rate by $0.06 to $1.1106 per $100 valuation.

If passed, the VATRE would provide GISD with ~8.4 million to fund pay raises for staff. District leaders say the median homeowner with a homestead exemption will see a $7.97 increase in their annual property tax bill.

The VATRE will appear on the Nov. 3 ballot as “Georgetown Independent School District Proposition A."

Someone in or around Georgetown or Austin. My budget for each would be no more than $300. I’ve been looking but haven’t been able to find what I’ve been looking for. If anybody has a recommendation for someone I would be very appreciative. Thanks!

PSA Scam re: Wilco sheriff

Someone is scamming people by pretending to be the Wilco sheriff and using INSIDER INFO THAT THE SHERIFF HAS to make people pay because they're afraid they have some kind of crime that they didn't know about. Don't fall for it. Scams are getting bigger and more real. Stay safe out there.

Camping at lake Georgetown

I know lake Georgetown has a lot of nice camping sites with water and electricity access but I'm looking for more primitive sites where you have to hike to. What's your favorite more secluded spot? Do you have to reserve them? How does it work?

Looking for MTG Folk for Commander/Limited games

A couple friends and I have gotten into MTG pretty heavily lately and we're looking to find a 4th (possibly a 5th) for some more consistent game nights.

I know I could hit up some of the local shops, but I prefer playing in a quiet environment where we won't be kicked out of our table when the next tournament starts up.

We buy booster boxes each new set and do some at home Limited events. We also attend Prerelease events and are fully planning to show up to a couple Reality Fracture events.

Essentially, we're looking for someone who'd be down for an occasional draft night or meeting up after a Prerelease to play our Sealed decks against one another. We did this tonight with our Hobbit Prerelease decks, but since we only have 3 players, we do king of the hill formats rather than swiss rounds and it's more politicking than we care to keep up.

For draft days, we get together around noon on a weekend and play to the evening. We chip in or rotate for dinners, and we might play a board game if there's time.

I also host D&D on Saturdays and am considering looking for another player for my Strixhaven/Phyrexia campaign coming up in October and would love someone who might be down for that!

So, let me know if this all sounds like something you'd be keen on! I host at my place near IKEA, but would be happy to meet up at the library or an LGS to vibe check. Also happy to play online with Cockatrice.

Tell me a bit about yourself, how you enjoy Magic, if you're into D&D at all, and if you'd want to consider joining us for draft nights! (Chaos drafts have been fun lately. Everyone brings 4 random packs and we draft! You keep what you draft and I normally put up a prize for the winner)

We're in our 30s, if that matters. All guys but anyone is welcome to join my table as long as you're respectful! Maybe my wife would actually play more if another lady joined us.

Formats:
Commander
Sealed
Set Draft
Chaos Draft

Bexley Wolf Ranch apartments

Would anyone here happen to know what it is like living in Bexley Wolf Ranch apartments? I'm planning to move to Georgetown in the next month or two and they're currently on my shortlist. If nothing else, I want to make sure wherever I move to has good maintenance.
