City charter amendments Lindale voters backed three of five amendments to the city’s charter Tuesday night after unofficial tallies were tabulated by Smith County Elections Administrator Karen Nelson. Early numbers suggested Lindale residents favored three of the five amendments by a 2-1 margin, while Proposition 2, which would eliminate term limits for the mayor and council members, was not approved by voters by 1,800 to 784. Proposition 3, which would require a vote of four council members to override a mayor’s veto, also failed 1549 to 1,016. Proposition 1, dealing with the city’s annexation authority, had 1,767 in favor and 791 against. Proposition 4, which dealt with the number of council mem- bers needed for a quorum passed by a count of 1,417 to 1,126. Proposition 5, to amend the charter to allow a special meeting of the council being called by two members, was backed by a 1,485 to 1,063 margin. Every five years, state law requires that cities with charters must review them via charter committees. Originally scheduled for the May, 2020, the charter amend- ment election had to be moved to November due to the COVID pandemic. At the end of early voting on Oct. 30, Nelson reported that 78,781 voters cast early ballots in the county, or 59.2 percent of Lindale High School’s Lady Eagles volleyball team saw its season come to an end on Monday night in Sulphur Springs registered voters. This figure outpaced 2016’s tally by 20,375 with a five-set loss to Nevada Community High School. The Lady Eagles, who won the bi-district title last week over votes. Paris, finished their season at 27-1.

Changes proposed to sexual assault laws Look for laws regarding sexual assault to change in the upcoming legislative session. The Sexual Assault Survivors’ Task Force has issued its first report to the Texas Legislature. The group began meeting earlier this year after being created by the passage of House Bill 1590 during the 2019 session. The report includes 11 policy recommendations for the upcoming legislative session. A few of those: • Remove law enforcement’s ability to decline forensic medical examinations for sexual assaults reported within 120 hours and clarify language pertaining to law enforcement’s ability to decline forensic medical examinations outside of 120 hours. • Require law enforcement to complete the Office of the Attorney General’s Law Enforcement Request for Sexual Assault Exam form for every sexual assault that is reported to them.
