\u201cWe\u2019re overwhelmed, and anything that looks like it\u2019s going to cause us long-term impact on our dollars, it\u2019s a very difficult decision to make,\u201d resident Alisa Franklin, 38, said.<\/p>\n
The bond election was floated in January after Viridian\u2019s developer requested that the municipal management district increase its bond capacity, according to the district\u2019s meeting minutes.<\/p>\n
Proposals to do so were split into two propositions.<\/p>\n
Proposition A asked voters to authorize the district to issue bonds totaling more than $50 million for Viridian\u2019s water, sanitary sewer and drainage, and storm sewer systems.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Proposition B asked voters to authorize the district to issue bonds totaling more than $57 million for the repair, purchase, construction and maintenance of roads both inside and outside of Viridian.<\/p>\n
The two propositions would not have increased the taxes of Viridian homeowners.<\/p>\n
One of the larger issues for the wider community with the propositions was the amount of money that the district hoped to allocate, Franklin said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat number took everyone by surprise,\u201d Franklin said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The district still has the capacity to issue bonds for Viridian\u2019s roads and water systems, though it is much smaller without the propositions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The district has about $4.8 million in bonds for water systems it can issue and $42 million in bonds for roads it can issue from a 2008 election, according to the district\u2019s election notice.<\/p>\n
H-E-B ISD tax increase and Texas Senate District 9<\/p>\n
While in Arlington, Viridian residents live within the Hurst-Euless-Bedford school district.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A 3-cent tax rate increase for HEB schools was approved<\/a>, with 51% of voters supporting the increase, according to unofficial results.\u00a0<\/p>\n Texas Senate District 9, which includes parts of Arlington, heads to a runoff between Democrat Taylor Rehmet and Republican Leigh Wambsganss<\/a>, according to the early returns. The special election was called after Kelly Hancock left the seat to work as the acting state comptroller.\u00a0<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s note: This story was first published Nov. 4, 2025, and updated at 8:30 a.m. Nov. 5 with unofficial results.<\/p>\n Chris Moss is a reporting fellow for the Arlington Report.
