CE 5.3

1. What % of the franchise tax could state business donate to a voucher bill program designed to help students attend private school if they are unhappy with their public school options?
50%
2. What are the "two biggest civic challenges" facing Austin, according to mayor Steve Adler? Page A1 "Adler: Austin's success..."
Traffic and housing costs.
3. What is the political cartoon on Page A9 by Dan Wasserman from the Washington Globe trying to tell is, in your opinion?
It tells me that now you can see the death of a bunch of people because of media and death is becoming very public nowadays.
4. Who won the Master's Golf Tournament over the weekend? Where did he go to college? How old is he? How much money has he made this year?
Jordan Spieth won, he went to UT, he is 21 years old, and he has made a little under 5 million dollars. 
5. What is the number 1 movie in the country this week? Have you seen it? Do you want to go see it?

Furious 7.

Short Answer: Read the story on B1 "Pilot program lets Texas soldiers vote by email"
If this pilot program continues to have the same success it has in the past, it could pave the way for everyone to vote via email. Do you think Americans in 2015 should be voting by email? Do you think there are problems that could arise if people were allowed to vote by email? Are there solutions to those problems? Do you think you might be able to vote via email or online in your lifetime?

I don't think that Americans should be able to vote by email. The emails or email accounts could easily be hacked and change in the internet. I think there are solutions but the solution would be a government issued email that cannot be hacked by hackers and is only to be used for voting. I think that there will be a way to vote online in my lifetime because everything is starting to become electronic so it is only a matter of time before we vote online.
