Correction, logged Oct. 11: the Sept. 19 brief on Willow Park's $10,110,000 certificates-of-obligation election and the Ledger's election page called the measure Proposition A and said the city puts one question to voters; Parker County's sample ballots for Ballot Style 16 (precincts 400, 450) and Ballot Style 18 (precincts 410, 415, 435) list the certificates as Proposition B, labeled a tax increase, and Proposition A as the proposed Home Rule Charter

The city's election ordinance in the Aug. 11 council packet, Ordinance No. 944-26, labels the certificates question Proposition A; the county's ballot lists it as Proposition B. The brief, the election page and the printable guide now carry the ballot's labels, with the ordinance's label noted, and the correction sits at the top of the brief and on the corrections page. Early voting runs Oct. 19 through Oct. 30.
