Local amendments pass, Texans elect new governor

By LYNETTE SOWELL

 

Local voters have spoken, and the city of Copperas Cove’s charter will see some changes. Eight propositions were passed by Copperas Cove voters, most by a wide margin and one by a narrow vote. Proposition 1 passed 2,604-735, with 726 under- votes among CopperasCove voters from  Coryell County. It alsopassed with Cove voters  in Lampasas County, 40- 6, with 6 under-votes. The amendment states that if both the mayor and mayor pro tem are absent from a meeting, council members can elect a chairperson as long there is a quorum. This chairperson member will have the authority to conduct the meeting as if he or she were the mayor, but will maintain the right to vote.
