PROPOSITION 1: FOR 55.21% AGAINST 44.78%
Authorizes financing methods for municipalities and counties to acquire buffer zones or open spaces next to military bases. The proposal could prevent encroachment next to the base and allow construction of roads, utilities and other infrastructure to promote the mission of a military base.

PROPOSITION 2: FOR 68.23% AGAINST 31.76%
Allows the Legislature to provide for ad valorem taxation of a residence homestead solely on the basis of the property's value as a residence, not at the potentially higher commercial use value.

PROPOSITION 3: FOR 65.56% AGAINST 34.43%

PROPOSITION 4: FOR 56.73% AGAINST 43.26%
Establishes a national research university fund to help emerging research universities achieve national prominence as major research universities. Those pushing the proposal say it will provide funding similar to what elevated Texas A&M University and the University of Texas to Tier One status, providing jobs and stature or the state. Others question whether now is the time to spend such money.

PROPOSITION 5: FOR 61.85% AGAINST 38.14%

PROPOSITION 9: FOR 76.93% AGAINST 23.06%
Protects the right of the public to access and use the public beaches bordering the seaward shore of the Gulf of Mexico. This would block private developers from restricting beach access to the public, but some say it could infringe on private property rights.
