Round Rock Parents and Taxpayers Association Treasurer Patrick McGuinness said the Round Rock ISD bond propositions “failed because they deserved to fail.” In a statement to Community Impact Newspaper early Sunday morning, McGuinness had plenty to say about the failure of the three propositions. Saturday’s unofficial final results included: Proposition 1 For: 8,261 votes (48.1 percent) Against: 8,905 votes (51.9 percent) Proposition 2 For: 8,061 votes (47 percent) Against: 9,104 votes (53 percent) Proposition 3 For: 7,296 votes (42.6 percent) Against: 9,841 votes (57.4 percent) “At last count, over 8,900 voters from Round Rock ISD voted against the bond propositions, more than the total number of votes cast in the 2014 election,” McGuinness said. “This represents a stunning rejection of these heavily-promoted bond propositions.” McGuinness said the opposition was up against a near $100,000 pro-bond campaign, which sent more than a half-dozen mailers to thousands of voters. “The bond propositions enjoyed favorable press and official endorsements, as well as a district administration that in our view crossed the line in their own efforts to promote passage of this bond package.” The opposition’s battle, which McGuinness compared to David versus Goliath, had less money and less time to state its case, he said. “In comparison, our grassroots coalition came together spontaneously from different members of the community with independent negative reactions to the flawed bond package. Many of us first met each other through this.” RRISD issued a statement on its website early Sunday morning in response to the bond defeat.
