MCKINNEY (WBAP/KLIF) – The McKinney City Council voted to call an election where voters will consider one general obligation bond proposition and three Council seats. The general and special election is scheduled for May 6. Early voting takes place April 24 – May 2.
According to the city, a bond committee made a recommendation to the McKinney City Council to call for a $200 million bond package for future development at the McKinney National Airport and capital projects outlined in its master plan.
