Visual Description: A man is seated at a wooden table against a plain off-white background. He has light brown skin, a bald head, and a neatly trimmed beard. He is wearing clear-framed glasses, a black short-sleeve shirt, and a black smartwatch on his left wrist.
Context: Lets lawmakers create a property tax exemption in border counties for the added property value that comes from building border security infrastructure such as fences, cameras, or lights. Votes yes means property owners in border counties can get tax exemptions for new border security improvements. Votes no means no exemption is created and improvements are taxed as normal property value.
